A 0.2% fluctuation is noise and doesn’t detract from the point. According to the automation fear mongerers we should be seeing massive unemployment.

That's not a 0.2% fluctuation, but 1.6x decrease. Treating it as 0.2% would treat completely wiping automanufacturing jobs as "only", 0.46% fluctuation.

Again, where is the massive unemployment?
