47% of Jobs Will Disappear in the next 25 Years, According to Oxford University

To combat "structural unemployment" and the terrible blow it is bound to deal the American people, Bilger has formed a nonprofit called Working Nation, whose mission it is to warn the public and to help make plans to safeguard them from this worrisome trend. Not only is the entire concept of employment about to change in a dramatic fashion, the trend is irreversible. The venture capitalist called on corporations, academia, government, and nonprofits to cooperate in modernizing our workforce.

Good.  The conversations need to start happening.  I have a slight fear that if society is blindsided by this that there is a chance of very radical reactions -- stuff like a resurgence of eugenics.
