The White House has urged Americans to focus on getting blue-collar jobs as technological changes threaten to displace America’s office-based and corporate professions.
“In an age of AI, where all the white-collar jobs are going away pretty damn quick, I think maybe it’s a good time for people to think about having good blue-collar jobs,” Peter Navarro told CNBC Tuesday.
Navarro, President Donald Trump’s senior counsellor for trade and manufacturing, said the U.S. was in the past able to prosper with a broad, blue-collar middle class, and that this could “come back again in a new package with all this new technology and productivity.”
I doubt there’s enough blue collar jobs to employ all workers.

Sure, you’ve got people that have taken out a lot of student loans to get graduate degrees. They should probably just go sew buttons on shirts and be happy about it.
