In the context of the currently defined job market, then jobs certainly will go down, in the same way the job market for switch operators went down.
In the longer term, then there's a fairly good argument more jobs, and specifically more roles in newly defined jobs, will be created.
What happens to those currently employed, and I'm not just talking about 23 year olds fresh out of university, in the current job market is the question.

Which I think is probably actually generally correct; if data work is cheaper you will do more of it, so, say, a 50% efficiency gain for data workers will not generally mean that you want half the data workers. This has arguably _already happened_; I’d be reasonably confident that there are more people working with data now than there were 100 years ago when the business was rather more filing-cabinet-oriented, say.
