I really how you've framed this. In a sense, it's much like other investments in infrastructure (except digital, rather than a highway or rail line): lots of jobs during construction, and then once it's done it's a public good. Perfect for during a downturn. I work in automation, and what's happened when a location introduces our tech is not an immediate loss of jobs, but rather the existing employees move to higher productivity roles. Any job losses eventually come via attrition and non-replacement.
