Biggest threat to jobs is AUTOMATION
When self driving trucks are perfected, lots of jobs will be lost, from truck drivers all the way down to truck stop employees.

I personally believe it is automation, computers are the biggest threat. Not immigrants or offshoring. There is nothing that can be done about it, the computer will always be a better choice and as technology improves we will see more and more jobs lost. Places like Silicon Valley or Silicon Hills will become more important to the American economy than they are now and cities that rely on manufacturing will continue to decay. However if you ask Trump and most conservatives they would probably answer offshoring or immigration but I think they underestimate the power of technology in the economy.

The failure to include business fundamentals in the primary education curriculum and the failure to encourage entrepreneurship.
 
I know that the job market does not accommodate moderately disabled people. There is very little available for disabled people who are considered lazy.

I do not know about the struggles of people able to work 40 hours a week or more.
