As a society, more jobs is great. As individuals, the situation may not be great: your career is gone, and now what do you do? Greeter at Walmart?


I'd argue that being a greeter at Walmart, or in general a human interaction role is exactly the role for people in an automation future. The greeter at Walmart tomorrow may also be responsible of a fleet of robots that perform cleaning duties or stock monitoring.

Home and elder care may employ a lot of people in future that are assisted by robots.


I wouldn't be so sure... in Japan, these jobs are already being filled with robots :D
