I appreciate many aspects of your post, but let us remember that jobs are good because they produce value.
For instance, people who want to give free haircuts to homeless people that are charged/fined are people who create value that dont have jobs, being stopped from creating value by people who do. DOH preventing people from living in Tiny Houses they've built IMO falls under same category. Health insurance execs, red tape admin workers, etc.
I contend that what is important are things like human welfare and dignity, space exploration, and animals rights, to name a few.
When truckers are obsoleted I dont want to see them digging holes and filling them again. Let creative destruction work its magic, push them to succees in a competitive market, and in the meantime help with their human needs so they dont starve or go without housing or healthcare. Jobs are the wrong thing to focus on, it leads to perverse incentives.
