Anyone got a source for this comment referenced in the article?

"In 2006, Princeton economist Alan Blinder famously warned that the critical economic divide in the future will 'be between those types of work that are easily deliverable through a wire or via wireless connections with little or no diminution in quality, and those that are not.'”



I don't but I also don't see why that's "famously" if it's from 2006.

I did a grad school paper on automation/relocation/innovation regarding union busting and this stuff has been predicted since the microchip.



Thanks
