While the software I've written hasn't caused anyone to lose their job, my software has certainly kept new people from being hired. The people doing "mundane" processes are now handling considerably more transactions than they were 10 years ago and even more than 20 years ago. We keep automating more and more of the process and less people are ultimately needed. It will almost certainly always require someone but they'll be doing the job (but not necessarily the same work) that used to take 5 people.
