I think you guys are missing the point. The point is not that people are jobless, the point is that what they would get paid if they worked is just too low for a decent life.

At the correct price (even 1 cent per hr), everybody gets a job fast.

Given that, the real problem is for the jobless to learn something of more value to the economy or accept lower salaries, it is not technology. If there was no technology development, things will be more expensive and the poor would be even more poor.
