Most are part time temp jobs, no benefits, low pay. Not a good way to live your life.

I'm having a real hard time seeing any way around this trend of automation/robotics, outsourcing/subcontracting and global wage competition/RACE TO THE BOTTOM on lower skilled, blue collar jobs. And it's not just blue collar work. Anything and everything that can be done cheaper HAS TO and will be done at the absolute cheapest so long as you, I and the horse we rode in on shop at Walmart, the 99Cents Only Store or online for the cheapest price on the face of the earth.
Of course there are "conspiracies"------ scumbag politicians and scumbag corporate whores, raiders and pirates to accentuate and accelerate these horror stories for middle class American families. But in the larger scheme of things all the bad guys are capable of doing is seeing the global wage arbitrage opportunity FIRST and being quicker than the next scumbag politician or corporate raider. There's just no sense thinking that "easy" work is going to pay big bucks in the modern economy.
99% of us ought to get accustomed to enjoying life WITH A WHOLE LOT LESS cash money flowing through the fingers.
Things could be a lot worse. God forbid we have to cancel cable TV, the internet, cell phones and WALK or BIKE around town.
Can you even imagine?
