2020 Presidential Candidates - Let's Talk Jobs

In listening to or reading candidates' declarations about aspirations to become President of the United States, I've yet to hear any of them address how they would help their constituents with jobs of the future.

Robot World

Purportedly automation (AI - artificial intelligence) have begun transforming job categories. By 2025, six years from now, a displacement of 22.7 million U.S. jobs will occur.

People who primarily will be hurt the most will be blue collar workers – drivers because of driver-less vehicles (includes cars/buses/trucks); manufacturing jobs; cashiers replaced by self-help kiosks and grocery store scanners, etc. In the U.S., Las Vegas implemented the first driver-less buses

A small listing of professionals affected are: physicians (robotic surgery), lawyers ( specialization – bankruptcies, real estate, etc.), phlebotomists (robots performing blood draws).

With the transformation of these jobs, they will have a significant impact on all communities. Do the potential presidential candidates understand the problem? They talk about infrastructure and green jobs which are necessary, and some new ones will be created, but what about the millions that will be displaced because of AI?
