Rise of the machines: Fear robots, not China or Mexico

President Trump portrays Mexico, China and global trade as the biggest threats to American manufacturing jobs. "It has been a one-sided deal from the beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers of jobs and companies lost," Trump tweeted on January 26. His predecessor also offered a warning to American workers, of a different kind. "The next wave of economic dislocations won't come from overseas. It will come from the relentless pace of automation that makes a lot of good middle class jobs obsolete," President Obama said in his farewell address.
