There are a lot more jobs than you think in regards to robots. Think engineering of how to get them to do what is needed. Engineering of components, and testing. Technical writing to describe their functions. Better ways to create joints and muscles, and how to miniature them. Then there are the electronics and portable power systems. The physical looks. And the AI software and communications. Tons of jobs available in regards to robots, and we aren't even talking about maintaining them running. Plus someone has to design and manufacture the pilot components. I've spent time watching my son-in-law design and repeatedly manufacture metal components on large CNC machines before settling on a design and sending it off to manufacturers. This stuff is done by humans, humans that don't need to flip burgers.
On a related note, I’ve been looking at truck wheels, nice ones. Found several US specialty manufacturers, one in particular in Miami has impressed me. They have their catalogue of designs, sizes and finishes but they’re all actually custom, manufactured to order via CAD and CNC. Company name is American Force, here are a few videos and a link to their website:

The hope for employment resides in specialty manufacturing in limited quantity, meaning an explosion of surprising, innovative, high quality goods. This doesn’t benefit the poor unless they’re being employed, though. Custom manufactured goods are not cheap.
