A huge part of the problem of unemployment in the developed world is the 
automation of work that used to be done by well-paid human labor. 
Hundreds of employees replaced by a few robots, machines that do the 
work tens of times faster than a human.

Many (most?) of the people who did those jobs for the first 20-40 years 
of their working lifetime have little if any education for today's jobs 
operating, building, and maintaining that equipment. At 74, I've been 
retired for about 7 years. My wife, 72, retired three years ago, 
primarily because of hand surgery. We've talked about working today, and 
agree that we would have a hard time getting hired at any decent job in 
today's world, not because the jobs aren't there, but because our fields 
have moved on, and we haven't. I have a BSEE, she's a PhD.

##  Well  you could work for Fair rite as a type 31 sales manager.  Or better 
yet,
visit their new plant in China, where they make all these products, and figure 
out
why they have such extremes and variations in their  type 31 cores  since the 
chinese
plant opened.   N3RR  bought over  700 of em, 2.4  inch od cores, and found they
are all over the map, and even sent samples to Fair rite.   Bill ended up 
devising  a
simple 1 turn test, then graded all  700 of em into various sub groups.   No 
wonder the 
initial CMC results  were not repeatable.
