Sure, and that also leaves out simple innovation. Innovation will be destroying more jobs in the future as well. These are some serious complications that politicians aren't really bringing up.
Historically the jobs lost to innovation are replaced with better jobs as overall productivity and societal progress occurs. That said, the transition for any one person can be difficult, and poor strategies by politicians and other leaders in society can make the situation worse.
One example are the high costs in taxes and regulations government imposes on employers, which politicians continue to increase. Making it more expensive, risky and difficult to hire employees leads everyone to try to avoid that risk. Innovation aimed at reducing employee headcount only occurs if the cost savings justify it. As government drives up the effective cost of employing someone, entrepreneurs will concentrate more effort on innovations which allow them and others to operate with fewer employees.
One reason companies relocate overseas is to avoid the risks and costs of hiring employees in the USA. Making it simple and inexpensive, and relatively less risky to hire employees would help generate jobs here in the USA.
