The only sizable sectors of the job market are the medical industry, and government jobs due to an over-bloated, dystopic, draconian government that has purposely made the masses reliant upon it, while building a security-prison industrial complex. The govt jobs sector also includes institutions of indoctrination such as public schools and its teachers reliant upon the government for their salaries. This is a new order of police-state, and social engineering, type jobs that make these workers' livelihoods depend on big brother. They must obey the government if they want to keep their jobs - their pensions - otherwise, it's back to flipping burgers or the soup kitchen. It's reminiscent of the Soviet block. Eventually, with little to no job market involved in production and innovation, and these displaced workers who now work in the "homeland security" industry are used to put others in jail, and spy on other "free" citizens, and "secure" the nation from "terrorism", and schools perpetuate "it takes a village..." along with numerous social engineering of domesticated citizens, then the U.S. economy will be far surpassed by other nations, and eventually the U.S. will dissolve, unless something happens to rearrange the global economic and manufacturing paradigm such as a world war.
