So there are alot of older people having philosophical or political debates here rather than discussing the serious issues in this article... As a millennial who has 3 degrees, economics and poli sc/policy and a diploma in journalism I can tell you I have "practical" training and I have been stuck doing contract work for about 10 years. It is very financially stressful, I have no benefits/insurance, and I struggled 3 times trying and get a mortgage after saving a down payment, and failed 2/3 because I was considered high risk due to unstable employment. Baby boomers who did not save for retirement will not leave the workforce, and as a result my generation is getting no job security, no mentoring (no 'extras' like that are offered to contractors), and are moving around looking for work. I have moved between SK, AB, and Ontario to make a decent living. This is causing huge societal & financial problems for an entire generation. Automation will only make it worse.
