my dad was a mechanical design engineer, college after WW2. He started with mathematics log tables and a slide rule. He graduated to a mechanical calculator, of which I got my hand stuck in when I was 7-8 years old. Then when the TRS 80 came out, i programmed the involute curve calculation to speed his long calculations. He loved that. . but CAD/CAM software, reduced his whole department to 1 and him.
And that was in the 2000s
So yeah, there is huge progress continuing with technology to eat as many jobs as possible. You gave a list, great, and those jobs might never go away, but there may be 2 instead of 5 people employed at those jobs.
I have taken a single person's 4 hour daily job and reduced it to 5 minutes for me, and then automated overnight. Human cannabalization continues
