For about eighteen months, tops. Assuming they're one of the lucky ones who weren't undercut by some desperate nursing school dropout willing to work for peanuts.

Actually, trucker might go by faster than even garbageman. I can totally imagine a setup where you have a camera mounted on the car that's also connected to a mountable robot that's attached to and directly manipulates the drive train. Such a setup wouldn't even require the employer to buy new vehicles, just the drive train parasite.

This is key. Supply and demand. Wages will drop all around from decreased supply and increased demand.

If Universal Healthcare and UBI aren't top issues in the next election we are more trouble than most expect.
