In the Washington area, the most popular job isn’t a lawyer or lobbyist. It’s a cashier.
Considering the DC area's high cost of living this is worrisome
No its not.
Low skilled jobs are always in higher quantities than high skilled jobs for obvious reasons. There are also more bus drivers than commercial airline pilots. Surprised?

Historically, when have humans ever stop progressing just to save outdated jobs? Never.
Remember when elevators were manually operated? I guess those elevator operators went in to poverty afterwards (not). People learn new skills and adapt.

Troll question. Let's start with the most obvious. 50 years ago, no one had ever used a computer. Pretty sure millions of people have now learned that new skill.
Bit misleading thread title isn't it? I don't think the job is 'popular', it's 'widespread'. It's quite rare to encounter a cashier who *wants* to do that job and acts like it.
I would have guessed the most common job would be in hospitality or retail. High paying, white collar positions will never be at the top of any city for most common jobs because they're not common. Yes, DC has a ton of Lawyers, but Lobbyists? Not sure why you would think the city is filled with Lobbyists.

No, it's a serious question. Automation is happening now, what are the new skills that low skill workers are learning?

Automation has been happening for hundreds of years. The new skills that the low skill workers learn are usually how to use the automated tools.
