Word for a person whose job was replaced by an advance in technology

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

As the title so subtly suggests, I am looking for a word describing someone whose job was replaced or eliminated by advances in technology.

For example:

Blue-Collar Bill, a [noun], is searching for a new job now.

Maybe a verb/participle implying this would work too:

Blue-Collar Bill was [participle]; he was replaced by a sowing machine.

Or maybe,

My [adjective] friend, Blue-Collar Bill, is going to technical school so that he will not feel obsolete anymore.

Another way to put it is that I am looking for a more concise way to say "made obsolete/displaced/replaced by an advance in technology".

I can add more examples if desired.
