I think unemployment statistics only include people who are receiving unemployment benefits. Benefits run out after a year or six months. After those people stop receiving benefits, even though they may be looking for a job, they are no longer included in the statistics. Therefore it appears that there is less unemployment than there really is.
We're all building the robots and automation now.

Wrong! Educate yourself.

More people need to be hired to design, program and service the robots.
And robots create efficiencies and higher production that other workers need to keep up with. Plus it requires more analysis which are new jobs that didn't exist before.
The invention of the shovel didn't lead to layoffs of hand diggers.
The in invention of bulldozers and sewing machines didn't put people out of work.
Robots don't put people out of work. It changes the type of work that is done.
Wrong. The product to worker value changed. For same size project employing 20, one bulldozer replaces 17 shovelers. 1 person stays on the machine , the shovelers for precision digging. Mind you, this also fuels the obesity crisis. This former shoveler on bulldozer, still eats massive breakfast and sandwich for lunch, yet his wattage output is much less. Just cause that is our cultured rules of eating.
Also I second the gig economy (,uber, Uber ests, postmarked) made job market look bright, but self driving cars and drones are coming for those positions
