Never mind if you are a musician or anything else, even a kid with a messy room knows there's plenty of work to do, as a parent will remind.
This is sleight-of-hand bullshit on Doctor Autor's part. What people know is that there aren't enough JOBS. Everybody knows there is plenty of WORK and nobody I ever heard of has claimed that there is a finite amount of work. Adam and Eve got that message after they tried the apple. Autor should be ashamed to appear in public, in person or in print. The whole article is bullshit. He tells a STORY that sounds plausible and then runs to his conclusion. Don't worry, he says, "in the long run" you'll get a job.
