I added one conclusion: If there is a labor shortage with wages rising, job seekers are in a more powerful position with less skill set than if there is not a labor shortage with rising wages. That isn't explicitly stated, but is hardly a big jump.
The rest is paraphrased from the article and was meant only a short hand that there isn't just doom and gloom if Fed and trade variables are appropriate.
I want to childishly drop a morpheus meme here that says, "What if I told you all those jobs didn't require the skillset that has been demanded during the last 10 years???".
Regarding immigration, I actually agree. But I'm fine with where we are going right now temporarily. You can't decide how many imported workers you need if we haven't raised wages yet and we also haven't started to move beyond inflationary goals. We should be ready to respond as such, but we aren't there yet.
I'm also not ready to make a more firm commitment to importing workers without looking at quality of jobs, etc. We ask these questions every time jobs are filled (are they low paying or part time and the numbers are fudged contributing to the last 30 years of flat wages???) and I'd expect to ask them now. Are those jobs open due to them simply being shitty non livable wage jobs? Well sounds like a good time to let things heat up, increase wages, or as you said automation will take them away. Importing others to prevent automation would not be a solution if I were king.
