Which were always pretty niche to begin with. Contrast with the large assembly lines that robots have been gradually expanding into for years, all the low-quantity stuff things like Baxter are going overtake, and the large quantity of low-cost labor that can be removed by switching to robots.
Most stuff is already automated to some degree, the rise of robotics systems will only make that speed up. What's left then is the jobs that require human ingenuity-- a very low percentage today.
But I digress, speculation is pretty much irrelevant. I'm sure the future will hold enough problems without guessing more.
