unskilled labor jobs such as floor buffer dude at the Wal-Mart, cashiers at stores with self checkouts, bag boys(god I'm old), newspaper delivery (both as kids and adults),
The jobs you listed here are all what I’ll call ‘high school kid’ jobs and will always exist. These aren’t the jobs at Ford plant assembly line where you can earn a decent living.

I grew up in a blue collar town in a blue collar home. If you lived in my neighborhood you went to work in one of three places;
3M
Whirlpool
American Hoist.

All those jobs were unskilled but they all paid well enough for the woman of the household to stay home and raise the kids. THOSE are the jobs that are gone.
