Robots, schmobots. The Rise of the Machines won't leave humanity on the dole

Robots = more jobs

We have two robots in our office, called 'lift 1' and 'lift 2'. A human appears to be on almost continuous duty trying to keep them working, a job that would not exist if we still used the stairs!

If the robot gets more complicated, expect more jobs to be created to try to keep them going. Look at IT for example, where things have got completely out of hand since we sacked the typing pool.
