In a way he's right, but at the same time, that's not constructive, and is only addressing symptoms rather than the actual problem. Robotics also elimanates jobs in factories and production plants, mechanical things in general elimate jobs, what would take ten people to dig a hole can be done in an hour by a machine now.
The problem isn't technology, it's the lack of education and globalization equalizing the market. Jobs exist, but you have to have a degree in something to do them. The US doesn't have nearly enough engineers for instance, but math and science education in the US is terrible. Other countries that can do the work for cheaper will also get the jobs that americans used to have. Why pay somebody here 15-20 dollars an hour to do unskilled labor in a factory when you can pay somebody in asia to do it for a half the price or less? The US just isn't competing like it used to in a global market. Blaming technology is just daft.
