A myth about manufacturing jobs is that they all went overseas. Reality is that most of them were replaced by robots and automation.
Low skill, low knowledge, repetitive work is key target for automation.
Fast food workers wouldn't have large downstream effects. Automated truck driving would though. There are likely entire towns right off of highways that depend on humans passing through daily - restaurants, repair shops, etc. If automated trucks don't stop anymore, a town could literally be a ghost town.
