One skilled person can manage the production of many robots that can perform the production of many workers. That job might pay $200K a year add another $50K a year in 'robot maintenance', add another $5K per robot for R&D and versioning with development costs -- that creates many high paid tech jobs and research grants that feed academics.
If you are a coal miner or factory floor worker you are obsoleted -- get over it and move on.
The profession of liveryman was obsoleted.
The trade of blacksmith was obsoleted.
The occupation of stagecoach driver was obsoleted.
Other skills adapted to innovation -- those that did not are GONE.
How many sailors are on a nuclear aircraft carrier.
How many teamsters still drive commercially (a lot less).
