Check out some of the videos on YouTube showcasing the Tesla factory and the Amazon fulfillment centers. Heavy use of robotics, automation, all sorts of other technology right here in North America.

I've heard talk that the job loss trends resulting from globalization pale in comparison to the job losses forecasted from automation and robotics. It's serious but I don't believe it will be that apocalyptic. I believe it will be job shifting more than elimination just like how we've already shifted to less manufacturing and more of a service economy in the US.
