Making an educated guess: better education with regards to job opportunities requirements allows you to compete in a smaller market so your work won't be offshored.

It won't. You will just have educated people that now have to move away to get jobs. It's a simple easy answer until you think about step #2, getting a job in rural America.

Education would make some of these people employable in the first place, and in jobs which a handful of robot arms can’t do better.
