5% maybe in the short run but in the long term it could change the world. It's not just in the world of Services with things like pilots, bus drivers, taxis, but on to AI + Robotics might totally dominate manufacturing some day. It all depends on the time horizon. Sure some things are not going to change like construction, you need humans to build and even if you automate something like pre-fabrication as you do today with pieces of concrete bridge sections and you use more AI + robots to make that, it still needs the majority of manpower to move it, install it, and so many other steps involved so I can see the 5% idea but if the USA needs to increase manufacturing of goods it will be much more than 5% in the long term we as Human race will run out of cheap labor it will happen so at that point in time, it won't be 5% it will be on another level but that could be 50 years from now, who knows?
