That is just people filling unmet existing demand and has nothing to do with the automation. They would have done that anyway if it paid as well or better.
Automation kills jobs. We know this because the businesses paying for it understand TCO. And even though higher paying jobs are "created" in the form of robot builders and maintainers, there are fewer of those needed than are replaced. So even if the TCO was the same, there would be strictly fewer man-hours worked with automation.
