There's a very popular youtube video that argues this point and people often cite it.
The problem with this line of thinking is that you assume there are some new job types that come into play and they replace old ones. While it is true that we have some entirely new job types (i.e. programmer) majority of the shift is to jobs which were already defined.
Did we have architects and physicians before the industrialization? Of course we did. We just have more of them now, because we don't need so many people to harvest crops.
Do we have kindergarten teachers, ecologists, social scientists now? Of course we do. We will just have more of them after the digitalization, because we won't need so many people to take your money at Wallmart or drive trucks or do legal discovery.
