STEM jobs create most all new jobs by creating new markets, new products, more productivity, resulting in increased standards of living, increased health, a more resilient economy, and harm to poverty.
An economy only prospers where innovation and automation replaces workers; make people more productive.
Those silly Trump / Biden examples are only from emotionally inspired personal biases. Says nothing logically or economically useful. Moderates don't exist in camps. Extremists need that rhetoric to promote a 'them verses us' mentality.
We know in a productive economy, no worker must be doing the same work decades earlier. That applies to everyone from high tech to retail. Economies that do not constantly change / innovate / increase productivity go into recession / depression.
Replacing humans with box making machines - a perfect example of how the economy prospers and how more jobs (not less) are created.
BTW seven out of ten jobs are not computer related. They are transistor related. All that directly traceable to what STEM created in 1948.
What is expected in the next 100 years? Quantum physics is expected to become the next driver of most new jobs. But again, what creates most all jobs? STEM. (Don't tell religious suicide bombers. They will only get emotional. The emotional only destroy jobs.)
