I think the trouble is the majority of those things are not new industries creating consumer goods or services. The majority of them are public goods that are hard to monetise. So they get neglected. Assuming those things can create more jobs assumes we that get better at allocating resources to them (either philanthropically, through the government or a societal way not yet dreamed of).

So while there is lots to do, it seems hard to think of huge numbers of jobs being created.
