There are a few ways to create many openings:<p>1. Legislate a maximum working hours (probably &lt; 40 )  . 3 jobs at 40 hours per week becomes 4 jobs at 30 per week, 33% expansion, problem solved.<p>2. Allow humans to undercut automation in price competition (eg abolish minimum wage)<p>3. Expand government to employ people for whatever, just print the money you pay them.<p>Clearly these all come with unsatisfactory side-effects.<p>Maybe the fix is to end our obsession with creating jobs and jobs being the form of survival we offer our species.  Imagine if we just created 600M jobs automating all the things so that those jobs would never (or nearly never) need to be done again? The future generations would need Billions of jobs! But no one would be worse off for it. Its like when a dishwasher became common place, suddenly kids were free to do more homework or facebook or xbox etc. Suddenly parents were more free not to have kids (to complete household chores). Etc etc.  By automating and reducing the work that human kind has to do, we&#x27;re enabling better lives all involved, including the displaced workers. Change hurts in the shortrun, but can bring utopia in the long run.
