I don't know the significance of 1996, but tech is just getting started in terms of replacement or elimination of work that paid living wages.

Something that people like you have been saying for at least a thousand years.
Also, the “living wage” and “good job” sides of this are policy choices. We don’t need to let new jobs be shitty, but we do need to elect people who don’t want to let them be. Unfortunately , we have one party that entirely wants them to be and one party that maybe feels a little bad about it but also mostly does too.
