I believe the statement to be true. The rate at which new jobs are created for computer scientists even outpaces the rate at which newly graduated CS majors enter the workforce.

Meaning demand is going to increase at an increasing rate, supply will remain at a constant growth rate.

In the future, while technology may replace many things, It will never replace entertainers, engineers, designers or people who create creative things in general.

The killer fact to me is that software is hard. It is something that cannot be seen. Imagine trying to diagnose traffic problems when you can't see the cars or the roads or the traffic signals. Software is so hard that even if you build a system that accomplishes the main objective, it can be extremely hard to modify the system in the future if the quality is low. Top talent will always be in demand. Over time a few expensive talented programmers will always create a better product than hundreds of cheap mediocre ones.
