cmv: "creating jobs" for the sake of creating jobs isn't beneficial to anyone

It seems (at least in my country) that creating jobs is a big deal. For example, people here are terrified about automatic cars because that would mean no more taxi drivers. But I think if we use automations that just means everyone has to work less (if we have some kind of economy centered around that idea). Why do we focus on an economy that "creates job" instead of an economy that tries to automate as much as possible ? Am I right to think we should do this or is there a thing i don't understand ?

Well, you hit the nail on the head right there. We don't have an economy centered around an extensive amount of automation. 

No doubt it *might* be possible to move to such an economic model but there's still quite a lot of disagreement on what that model ought to look like much less how it should be implemented successfully. 

Continuing the current model of making jobs is simply much easier and safer than the alternative in the short run. Whether this holds true in the long run remains to be seen.
