Mebbe yes, mebbe no
I think the author is optimistic regarding jobs. I think virtually all jobs available on the planet will go away. Machines can’t be as smart as people, but they can be much smarter at one thing. And when all of the “one thing’s” people can do are each handed over to the computer/machine that can do it better, there will be no need for humans to actually HAVE TO do anything. But this sort of world is not compatible with human nature. People will still fight over who has and who doesn’t have.
Most of it is a pipe dream, or generations away at best.
But, the nation needs forward thinkers.
