There are certain jobs that are just always bound to be automated (any work near a bandwagon or a phone), instead I think the bigger issue is how our economic model is so reliant on maximum acceleration of adoption that we never stop and ask if people are fine with the jobs they have, for instance there's a very well known phenomenon in the military where a lot of soldiers don't really wants to climb the ranks because it means it stops being a field job and instead turns into a desk job.
Its funny how 10 years ago the luddities were usually seen as out of touch or just greedy dumb while the CEOs was seen as pioneers.
And now slowly we see people sympathize with the luddities.
What I wonder is will this automation cause yet another labor movement? If so how different will it be?

Its what the market demands, not what people want out of a job.

Again the last time this happen we got the labor movement in protest of how terrible the transitioning was.
