Your statement makes it seem like we had no problem losing professions to automation. I'd argue this isn't true.
There are plenty of poeple who have inadequate work the world over because there isn't enough paid work to do, and most professions are servicing wants, not needs, so the demand is very elastic, with many people now multi talented and still not making ends meet.
