I am not clear whether you are claiming the number of workers is the same or not.  That is clearly not true.  Highly educated and skilled workers, in relatively small numbers, get the new jobs and the less skilled factory labor in large numbers is replaced by fewer workers and overall less money spent on labor.  That's how we are increasing production from factories with declining work force and labor costs.

Many of those workers supporting Trump are unskilled in the new economy.  I have no problem characterizing them as disadvantaged or under-served, although I have no idea what you mean by that and don't remember ever saying that.  They have voted for Democrats in the past and are frustrated. I understand that part.  

What I don't understand is how they think the Trump platform is likely to help them.  There may be no answer for many, sadly, but education, retraining and greater safety net in many areas will help, and as a society we should do more of that,  I see very little help by stopping immigration and closing borders, reducing trade.
