The move from muscular automation to mental automation is under way. Will robots replace people faster than new jobs for humans can be created?

Then humans can be displaced to the tons of understaffed areas of work.

@SW-User such as? I know it would free people up for things like elder and child care. What other areas are understaffed that would see people getting hired for?

@ViciDraco lots. In healthcare esp.

@SW-User healthcare is one of the areas automation is aimed at. Especially the diagnostic assistance. More nursing staff would be great, though I worry the extra people would diminish pay. Nurses are the hardest working people in healthcare and are already extremely undervalued in their pay.

@ViciDraco Um no. All those robotics? They don't work on their own. Humans control them.

SW-User

@ViciDraco But you're right. They don't want to pay us. Fuck the govt. Corrupt assholes.
