Answer 1

Answer:D) industrial manufacturing skills

Explanation: Businesses such as manufacturing industries in the future of America are most likely to close down and be replaced by new technological innovations.

This will lead to structural unemployment which occurs when there is a shifts or change in the economy that creates a mismatch between the skills workers have and the skills needed by employers.
