You say that like anyone can just up and go back to university or simply create their own service (presumably some new, inventive one because the one they just had is already nearly perfected by machines). Neither of those things are especially easy to do with a decent paycheck, and these people wouldn't even have that.

Not just anyone, but the possibility is there. Stories of business owners who made it starting from nothing are not rare (obviously many fail as well) - but do not underestimate the resourcefulness of people who have their back against the wall.
