I do a lot of research into these topics and this is a guestimation based on what I currently know about the state of automation as a whole. I also prefer the U-6 unemployment numbers as they give a more complete picture.

Do you mind providing me a few links to sources that you've found while doing research that support your guesstimation, if you can and don't mind?

And why do you prefer the u-6 numbers, if you don't mind me asking?

The U-3 is flawed for many reasons and here is an article explaining some of them https://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2012/10/16/why-jack-welch-has-a-point-about-unemployment-numbers/?sh=7708646b6554

As far as automation goes, I don't keep a treasure trove of links to articles or sources that I have gleaned info from. I can tell you that most of the companies that are automating are doing so quickly and quietly much like what Mcdonalds is doing with their drive through AI.
