Jobs with low productivity growth (e.g., hairdressing, cooking, caregiving, arts) are not automated, but as other industries grow and overall wage levels rise, wages in these fields also increase. In other words, as technology advances, services in professions that don't benefit from technology become more expensive.
The Jevons effect creates wealth, while the Baumol effect distributes that wealth throughout society.
