See the quote above. Automation has historically increased wages AND the number of available jobs. No, I can't make a car, and have no interest whatsoever in making one. I could, however, buy a Honda Civic today in the US for more or less the same price (adjusted for inflation) as a Model T, but thanks in no small part to automation, it's a much more efficient, safe and comfortable car. And still the auto industry directly employs 1.5 million Americans now vs. 450k in the late 20s.
