>> Yes, new jobs were created, but often not for those people who lost their jobs
This is the most obvious thing so many people who claim "new jobs were created" miss.
Yeah sure, new jobs will be created. But not for 90% of those who lost them (and most likely not for the one who claims this). You either won't have time, or energy or else to learn it and compete etc. Sure a small % of people will transition, a massive amount will not.
