I don't believe this perspective is realistic. You aren't training hammer swingers to be financial analysts no matter how much we would all like that to be possible. You are always going to have a capability distribution with a ton of people who aren't capable of performing "21st century" jobs.
So you have one of a few options:
1) Let them starve
2) Protect their jobs
3) Allow their jobs to vanish and tax the shite of out of the increased productivity and give them money
1 sucks , 2 hurts the overall economy, and 3 destroys people

I just had a conversation with some educators, and apparently there are hundreds of bus driving positions, clerical positions, etc. that can't be filled within Columbus City Schools.
Granted, unemployment is low here, and the economy is booming, but jobs are available only a couple hours from the heart of the Rust Belt.
And Amazon just opened some centers here, and are constantly advertising the jobs available. Those are low skill jobs too.

Actually we have too many financial analysts now and technology does a much better job than most of them anyway. What we need to be teaching folks is that they can't remain static in their skill-sets. Otherwise, like the vacuum tube, they'll be obsolete. What makes it so tough on so many, is both their skill-set and their location become barriers to gainful employment.
