The answer is rather simple. As you reduce the staff you reduce the cost of doing business which means you 1) reduce the price of your goods and 2) you reduce the cost of starting your own business. This is a nice little loop. As more aspects of the economy are automated, the costs to buy things comes down as well as the cost to start your own little niche business. As this iterates over and over and over again we will see (What we ARE seeing) is more self employment (things like side hustles and the gig economy make this more accessible than ever) and what we will start noticing is what we have seen with electronics for decades. Take a look at electronics. We can buy more with fewer nominal dollars (let alone inflation adjusted dollars) because the bulk of that industry is automated. Chip factories have very few people in them. software is developed with very little overhead. Distribution doesn't even need people anymore, it's done online now. As more industries replicate this by automating more and more of themselves we will see this not only expand but do so exponentially. "Who will buy your s#!t? you ask? Well, thanks to all this automation you can sell your stuff for very low prices and still make a comfortable living allowing a small customer base to support you. Further you won't need to pay that much for the stuff you need since the people who supply you are also automating and slashing their prices. Some people ask about greedy corporate executives. Good point. As businesses automate they won't need as many executives, they won't need middle management, the board room will shrink down since there won't be any need to keep them around. TL;DR Automation means lower cost of living This means people won't need as much money to buy things This means it will be much easier to get side jobs to afford everything you need. We get more stuff while doing less work (especially the busywork)
