Look, this whole argument has been around for so long and has been proven wrong over and over again. Almost none of the jobs from 100 years ago exist in their original form today. Yet we have 'only' 5%-10% unemployment, with a much larger population.
There's also this trend where people need to stay in school longer before they have a good chance of finding a job.

Not a bad thing for these kids, except it costs more and more to raise them.
