Yes. What is being suggested by the zeitgeist is that we are in a transition period; and that the scale of the problem is going to be so large that it cannot be ignored.

That is, if 75% of the population has no job in 2150 you have a huge ethical and societal problem.

This article is about unemployment rates, but wage drops in lower paying job sectors is already a huge ethical and societal problem. It can already not be ignored. It is, nonetheless, still being ignored.
