Hm. My previous sentence is on reflection incorrect; considering the number of jobs that could potentially be replaced by 'clean a bachelor pad' level intelligence, we would be looking at a potential disemployment shock that would be considered large in the US. Not a complete disemployment shock, but it would probably qualify as 'mass unemployment' if reemployment failed.
