There will be many jobs that robots won't be able to do right away... but there won't be many jobs that will ever be 100% secure.
Right now the main jobs that will be on the line are customer service types. These being your front line bank tellers and cashiers. We've already seen machines eat away at these jobs. Look no further than your nearest McDonalds for evidence. At least in the ones where I live they've added in kiosks for people to can place their order. Compounding that is the fact they only have one cashier on service at any time. That used to be 2-3 cashiers on duty.
Now this loss of 1-2 jobs may not seem like much, but scale it up. Say there are 30 McDonalds locations in my province (probably a very lowball amount, but let's go with it) that's 30-60 jobs eliminated right there. Factor in larger provinces with more people and more McDonalds and it's very possible that this cut a thousand jobs.
Self-driving vehicles will also make a massive dent in jobs. Once self driving cars are perfected (and by that I mean at the very least solving winter driving issues) it won't be that much of a jump to move to commercial trucks. That will put a lot of people out of jobs. I mean long haul truckers will face very tough competition from machines that can run all day/night without sleep. Meaning that shipping times would decrease since, as it sits, many provinces and states have laws of how many hours a person can drive before they legally have to pull over and rest.
But even in cities just having taxis that drive themselves or buses that go on their own will take a ton of jobs.
If self driving vehicles can navigate cities then it wouldn't be much more of a stretch for them to navigate warehouses... So they could very likely load and unload trucks with automated fork lifts. Which means even more people would be out of work.
In the medical world people aren't safe either. There is already
an AI that can detect melanoma with a higher accuracy rate than human melanoma specialists. This is only the very beginning too. This is just an AI so it can't actually do anything physical. However robots designed for medical purposes, like assisting patients, might not be that far off. And they could be better than humans simply because they'd be stronger, not suffer fatigue, never get snappy with a patient, never neglect them, have advanced onboard scanners/systems to be able to more accurately detect issues, be interconnected to the hospital network to update charts or provide real time feedback.
Any move to automation will never create many jobs. From the McDonalds example... It doesn't take that many people to keep the kiosks running. (If it did, making the move to automation wouldn't make sense. Why pay that many highly trained, and thus costly, techs when they could pay that many people to just fill those cashier roles for much less money? They wouldn't.) Any jobs that are created by automation will be ones that inherently require more specialized knowledge/training. And let's be real here... there are many people who just wouldn't be able to do it. The average person is not overly bright.
I think the larger issue here is that automation is coming. But we're not even close to being ready for it and the effect it will have on society. Companies are already rushing head long into this because they foresee this as an investment in a time when they don't need to pay someone minimum wage to do a job, they can just buy a robot to do it at a fraction of the cost.
