If anything I think it'll be more of a supplant to help support us such as helping doctors catch problems sooner with a patient's treatment or helping power companies reroute energy and help us monitor things like sudden weather events sooner like tornadoes.
As for the unemployment all they need is to just adjust the retirement system to one where people can truly afford to retire rather than the current system of working them to death and that change alone would open up plenty of jobs.
