Automation, and the Issue of Employment

The problem with promising more jobs is that you have to be careful how you say that these days. Many jobs will disappear through automation, and short of a Butlerian Jihad from Dune, it's highly possible that people will just have to be given new skills through adult education - a very expensive, long-term goal. Of course, they can always just stop using robots, though they are cheaper and more profitable.... much like outsourcing, which is yet another issue.
