This is hand waving.

60,000 jobs were just destroyed by automation, this isnt hypothesizing anymore its reality.

Where do these 60,000 people go now? What are the new jobs that these robots have created?

Jobs like creating, progamming, maintaining those robots?
So if i replace 100 workers with 1 robot, and it takes 1 programmer and 1 maintenance technician to maintain said robot - I've created 2 jobs by destroying 100.

This is what you are proposing as the solution to the problem of job shortages?
