This reminds me of how ATMs created more banking jobs because people started to use the bank more along with ATMs. ATMs handled the simple transactions and tellers dealt with the more complex tasks.

We'll see. There will be a loss of little industries that depended on truckers though, like truck stops and inns.

I also hope that this results in more jobs that are fulfilling.

Have you been to a bank branch recently? There is almost no staff, and to get help you have to call an offshored call center.

My little credit union usually has 3-4 tellers and some additional staff that handle more complicated stuff.

And there's like hardly any branches anymore, used to be one in every major village/small town per bank, now there's double the people and a third the banks
