I'll be honest, I didn't read the article, but this came across my feed this morning. It is CNN, so you have to assume it is going to lean far left, but here you go:

https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/11/economy/unemployment-benefits-work-incentive/index.html

Based on what you are saying here, it seems that we need to stop worrying about the jobless rate so much and start thinking about how we are going to sustain everyone. As much as people hate it, the "socialist" ideas of universal basic income and things like that might be more relevant than they wan to admit. If things move towards automation there likely will be many people who don't need to work. How will they live then. Your idea of a fundamental economic shift becomes a bit of a gut punch when you start thinking about that reality.
