Also, 1 million less construction workers from 2006 as most population growth is in metropolitan with lots of red tape.
It is confusing how sending e-mails, administration jobs such as making reports and other intangible jobs that produce no tangible product are supposed to sustain 360 million people in 2030
I guess Health Care employment will rapidly increase but government already pays or subsidies through tax breaks nearly 2/3rds of all spending

That is a false statement, administrative jobs are but a very small part of the overall job market. No one has ever claim our economy is dependent on those jobs.
Also, not the mention the electric car revolution (further decimation of a lot of oil and gas industry) coupled with self-driving cars.
220,000 registered electric cars (well, mostly hybrids, but who's counting) in 2016... it's a very small revolution so far... decimation seem to be too strong a word.

Because productivity is massively increased since then. Seriously, while the number employed may be down in that sector, the amount of items and real things created by the 73% that remain is far higher then it was before.
There will come a time where automation and efficiency removes enough people from the work force that we will have to have a serious discussion about "living stipends" and a mass welfare system to keep people alive. The trend is for jobs to become more and more scarce, that will eventually put enough people out of work that welfare will not be the dirty word that it is today.

It just seems how a Finance, Insurance and Real Estate economy with lots of government spending directly or indirectly is sustainable.
So, there are a million fewer construction workers now than during the housing boom, when prices were rising -- causing everyone and their brother was building houses before the crash. How surprising.
Second, technology jobs, administration jobs, etc., aren't "intangible jobs" that produce no "tangible product." Administrative jobs that do things such as make sure controls are followed, checks are cut and make work more efficient are hardly intangible. Most of America is performing services apart from manufacturing.
