I don't think that argument holds true for anything other than "automated-away factory worker." There is an increasing demand for most trade jobs like plumbers & electricians as boomers start to retire and fewer people are entering the trades. Someone's always going to have to be there to run wiring in a new building or hook up the gas line when you buy a new stove.

This is something a robot could eventually do, I don't see any reason a bot can't fix plumbing issues... It'll start out as a bot that goes in and sprays something on pipes to repair them, or goes into the drains itself and drills out muck to clear clogs, then the bots will show up via delivery drone and be able to do all that on their own without a plumber, and you just ship back when the issue is fixed...
