For now, probably only white collar workers. It’s probably good if those jobs go away.
Then, we need to think how to compensate those people. Capital is not evenly distributed so no compensation will just drive profits and this will not end up in the pockets of most people.
I'd say the employer has to keep paying salaries for some time to let people acquire new skills.
