I would hope that even if there would be fewer people hired in some areas, there would be a number of higher wage positions created - automated robot herder/field mechanic or the like. The issue is that our current economic conventions don't have (or explictly create) allowances for people to individually or systematically shift to whole new professions within their lifetimes.
It's understandable, before the pace of change was slower, save for maybe a few transition times historically, and people could basically work in a field for their lives, maybe their children would pick up new lines of work. But change is much faster now - and we're sort of built for economic allowances to people for the slower pace.
