The most common jobs in the Northeastern states seem to shift toward people jobs: nurse, nursing aide, primary school teacher. These involves complex tasks requiring tight coordination between motor, natural language, and emotional skills. Thus they are unlikely to be replaceable by technologies in the near future. (From my knowledge of AI, these sets of skills are probably even harder to automate than those of software developers.)
Nursing and healthcare jobs in particular will clearly be in higher demand with aging population in all developed countries (and several developing ones).
Many of these jobs require moderate formal education and average cognitive skills, but also a certain set of aptitude (e.g., empathy, communication, cooperation) best inculcated at home and in one's culture. If more analysis shows that they are indeed the most available jobs in the future, perhaps we should start preparing the youths now (especially since these skills are themselves valuable in life and in most other careers).
