Why are you so certain about that?

because i understand full well that..

1. wealth creates jobs

2. automation creates wealth

yours is an unfounded fear since before the days of the buggy whip, when people were worried that the automobile would kill jobs making buggy whips. they were right about the buggy whips but it never dawned on them how many jobs making automobiles would create.

The goal for a lot of businesses seems to be to eliminate as many jobs done by fallible, vulnerable humans who need sleep, food and entertainment as possible.

businesses don't care about what people need. they care about profits. and as long as businesses care about profits, there will be jobs for people to do.
