If you want to call all jobs "jobs" then fine: Another way of looking at it is: 150 years ago people didn't have jobs the way we do today at all. It was completely different.
So we can expect the "jobs" of the future, e.g. the life experiences of the future, to be completely different.
That difference will have major unavoidable ramifications for government, taxation, freedom, democracy, everything.
that is a very good point - effectively what they did was work in the mechanical sense - now we have outsourced that to machines.
What you do would have been clerical, logistical or planning work, or possibly creative. And the first three are definitively going to be outsourced to computers soon.

The US was primarily agricultural, but there was quite a lot of manufacturing, commercial, and government employment back then. So I think that "at all" is putting it too strongly.
