I found this thought funny. A few years ago everyone was all learn to code so you don't lose your job! Now there wont be any programming jobs in 10 years. But we will need a lot of manual labor still.

Demand for human workforce is primarily caused by the economy's growth. It requires significantly less human workers to maintain an economy.

    That really can't be correct. Growth adds some jobs for sure, but not as many as you're implying. While "maintaining" an economy, you still need just as much health care, food production, retail stores, education, road maintenance... I mean just about everything I can think of with the one exception of construction won't be significantly different in a growth economy.
