This is the situation apprenticeships and education were made for. Loss of low-level jobs only worries those who are unwilling to learn a trade skill. In the old days, that wasn't a problem because you could apprentice to a master and end up with one. These days, we don't seem to do that any more. We expect colleges to teach newcomers instead. And not everyone can afford college.
We have interns, but by law, interns can't produce real output or you'll get your pants sued off. This prevents internships from being apprenticeships, where someone could earn a bare living and a learn a tradeskill, then move on to earning a good living with that new skill.
