You are witnessing the mere beginning. Wait for despair before a typical job consists of donning a vr gear with some controllers (possibly brain implants) to control a humanoid robot far away. It's hard to think of a job that couldn't be automated this way except for security, as cutting off the signal would be a big failure point + laws that prevent civilians from using robots for violence. The only other real limitation is latency, so Indians in India probably won't cut grass in SF, just Mexicans (in Mexico).
In the longer run, this could kill cities or even states. People could live on ships in international waters, under a flag of some tax haven, but near the place they want to work to ensure low latency. Wages would equalize globally very fast.
Last but not least, versatile enough humanoid robots also mean nearly perfect sexbots - whether ai or remote controlled.
