Despair. Resist creating, promoting or buying technologies that eliminate jobs not by automating them away, but by offloading the work to a much greater population, thereby diluting it until it's seemingly gone. Favor dealing with people over self-service processes. Or, at the very least, understand this failure mode of economic metrics and don't accept claims of productivity gains at face value.
