Glad to see this proven out somewhat, since in the back of my mind I've been thinking it all along, every time someone claims automation is going to eliminate more jobs. That's not how it works. When cars are made more fuel-efficient it results in our collectively using more gas, because of more miles driven. (The phenomenon has a name that I'm forgetting.)
Obviously there are myriad ways of obfuscating what's really happening, and blaming technology is one of them.
