I think you nailed it. It isnt only the blue collar and low wage jobs that are affected. The upcoming employment problem will be experienced by what is left of the middle class. This is really going to start turning some heads. It is easy to ignore those in rural areas or at the low end of the spectrum. However when people making decent money cant find work, then people will start to notice.
As for the solution, without breaking the surprise of my next article, I think blockchain can help. That said, I am not sure how many will be able to take advantage of it. And I am sure the FB abd Google will keep their stranglehold to some degree. They arent about to let steemit, as an example, come in and clear their clock...not without a fight anyway.
