The automation is replacing human jobs in all fields, including services. It is accelerating. Automation always replaced jobs. The difference today is that it is replacing them faster than new jobs are created. Meaning that for the first time, automation is a net destroyer of jobs. That’s what’s new.

In fact, unemployment is all time low in many countries. Automation is not replacing jobs faster than it is creating them, as of now. It may change in the future, but not so far. There are a lot of places to work at. And you can create your own business.

Thanks 😊 I will open a business as soon as I win the jackpot. I don’t have the capital until then.

It doesn't take much capital to start a business. Just start small as a side hustle

Depends where you live and the field you chose to enter. In Switzerland it’s quite expensive to open a viable business.

Meanwhile the grocery store down the street from me has at least a dozen positions open and they're offering $21.50/hour to start. Across the street is a fast service restaurant offering $19/hour with no apparent takers.

Where is this / are they actually paying those rates?

Tons of places have "up to $xx/hr" or "$20*/hr" plastered everywhere across their hiring advertisements but they really mean $7.25 for under 21yo, $10 for under 26yo, and will only offer the full pay they advertise if you're a single parent or meet some other nonsensical criteria.

It's a completely predatory tactic corporations are using to shape a social narrative against the lower classes in an attempt to get them to accept the lower wages via negative social pressure.

It's intentionally trying to warp people's perspective into thinking that jobless people are 'lazy' or 'just don't want to work' when 'there are jobs everywhere!'

If I were there I would most likely apply and take it if offered. I live in Switzerland now and we haven’t got such sweet deals. Are you applying? Also, I’m curious, how many applicants per job have they got for those lofty wages? Can you call them up and let us know, please? My guess 25-30 applicants per job. Can you verify, please.
