The number of people working in agriculture was divided by c. 6 in the US [0], despite the population being multiplied by c. 3.5.
Sure, automation increased demand for food, but demand did not increase enough to not destroy 5/6th of farmers jobs.
Now this may not be a bad thing at all, that's not the point, but I am not sure "hey demand for art will increase but 5 out of 6 artist jobs will no longer exist!" is a super hopeful statement to artists.
