There's always landscaping and construction. Gonna be a while until we get robots that can build a house or pour concrete

Very easy to build homes with robots....just not cost effective.

Pouring concrete has been less labor intensive for years due to technology. Take a look at airport runways. About 30" and nary a form ever needed....they can pour several hundred yards a day with 4-5 people nad a machine that forms, pours and finishes as it moves along.......you can also build roads, bridges, building slabs etc.

At some point in the near future we are going to have to seriously talk about a publicly funded stipend merely for existing. Procreation is the only reason we exist....as a species we are no different than amoebas in this.
