Pandemic driven wage increases haven’t been happening long enough to drive just too much automation yet - supply chains and all that would greatly limit how fast that will roll out. It will be interesting if in 5 years I’d wages stay at current levels how much automation displaces them.

This pandemic is also coupled with a chip supply shortage that will also increase the cost/difficulty of automating for a bit.
