It’s intentional. “Automation will take our jobs!” Has been used to scare people for centuries, but the reality is physical labour is expensive and tricky in many situations to automate. Which is why Amazon goes through people like they’re me with a bag of chips. Power structures rely on large and ever-growing amounts of people with no formal education to do the physical work. This is one reason abortion rights are being rolled back in the US and nobody seems to care about what happens after a baby is born.
People with education are riskier because they might be able to compete with your incompetent nepotism hire. But you need people who are educated to go into professional industries so they can continue to automate existing jobs, which helps keep wages down. So that people can be legitimately scared of a robot or AI taking their job and losing their income.
Which keeps the old-money and their nepotism hire offspring comfortably at the top of the food chain.
