Predicting what the new jobs will is very hard. Someone in 1870 couldn't predict that a large percent of Americans would stop farming and instead manufacture cars, radios, and refrigerators. Those things hadn't been invented yet.
Also, sometimes automation brings cost down and unlocks demand that increases the number of jobs in total. More people worked in auto manufacturing after the factory line was invented than before, despite it drastically reducing the man hours per car.
There may be a period of high unemployment, but the cheap labor will find uses. Well, it always has in the past. Against this time might be different if automation is easy enough to replace nearly all low skill human labor.
- ThomPete 10y agoIt's not really that hard to predict. Unless you are somehow expecting technology to stop improving and humans to somehow improve exponentially the trend is pretty clear. Machines will be able to do most of the things we do at levels we haven't seen before. It's not hard to predict new jobs if they are there, they should already be there and you should be able to point to them. The numbers speak for themselves. As I said the number of new jobs created have actually gone down decade over decade in the US. The real danger is saying things like "jobs will come" thats not an argument when you can't point to it, then it just become a religious belief in something there is absolutely no evidence for.
