I believe huge numbers of certain kinds of jobs will evaporate, particularly whitecollar jobs -- just that the powers that be will implement modern sharecropping to nominally keep "jobs", even while the standard of living massively erodes and the middle class vanishes.

I believe we're already seeing that, with the job markets losing professional jobs but gaining service industry jobs.

I think it's a distraction to talk about employment numbers without talking about the quality of the jobs in question -- sharecroppers and CEOs both have a job, but their lives are radically different.

We're probably aged out of this discussion, but in case you're still reading: okay, fine. Provide some kind of quantitative prediction of what you're talking about. If unemployment numbers are the wrong measure, use Gini coefficient or something.
