It’s probably worth noting you seem to be empirically wrong: I’m pretty confident I’d be able to do >half of human jobs, with maybe ~3 weeks of training, if I was able to understand all human languages (obviously not in parallel!) Many others here would be able to do the same.
The criterion is not as hard as it seems, because there are many jobs like cashiers or administratrative workers or assembly line workers which are not that hard to learn.
Depends on how you define the measure over jobs. If you mean “the jobs of half of all people,” probably true. If you mean “half of the distinct jobs as they are classified by NAICS or similar,” I think I disagree.
