A large part of ditch digging is cognitive work (a human operating heavy machinery), so I’m not sure that backup career is going to last very long either

I think they meant with a shovel, not an excavator

How many people are being hired to dig a ditch with a shovel?

...well, maybe if someone live streamed the ditch digging it could earn a few dollars.
