In my mind large corporations like Facebook are a good example, because not all of their 25,000 are programmers or "high skilled workers". Their will always exist an ecosystem around large groups of people that are diverse enough to satisfy most types of people.

I'm not saying that this is the end-all solution to the larger problem described by the article, but I do feel some hope that it will work itself out. However, the advent of self-driving cars will be interesting to follow, considering how many people work in human transportation. But I'm optimistic!
