The point of automation is not to remove employees, but to free up employees to do other work and earn more revenue for the company. In the case of a governmental organization that would translate to having more employees available to do other tasks that can't be automated or require a human to make decisions and control. The term I learned while studying robotics was 'displacement' of workers and it really is true to what I have seen during my 20+ year career in IT. There is always ebb and flow but ultimately more workers are always needed because more tasks are always waiting for a human to perform.
