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.
As a software engineer who uses AI agents daily, let me tell you: now is as good a time as any to learn to code. LLMs won’t replace any developers.

Problem is, people want a silver bullet and there just isn’t one.
You need to create an economy that works for everyone where skilled workers from all professions can be successful. You can’t cram everybody into one job and expect everything to just work out.
Just about all jobs are important, and deserve a living wage and fair compensation for that work.

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.
