Having robots perform tedious work can be a good thing; but China has a large population. They claim - not quite credibly - an astoundingly stable unemployment rate at about 4.1% ( source ):
DESPITE all the ups and downs in China’s economy over the past decade, its official unemployment rate has remained incredibly stable. Incredible in the sense of “impossible to believe”. The registered urban jobless rate is just 4.1% now. This would seem to point to economic vigour, but the problem is that it has sat at that precise level, without moving, since late 2010. And it has stayed within an absurdly narrow range of 4.0-4.3% since 2002, even at the depths of the global financial crisis (see chart below).
