FYI, this kind of garbage truck has been around for >50 years [0], so any wide-scale impact on employment from this technology has likely already settled out.

The waste collection companies in my area don't use them because it's rural and the bins aren't standardized. The side loaders don't work for all use cases of garbage trucks.
