Here is an interesting post about AGI's impact on human employment. The author basically arguing that AGI will increase human employment in the economy. Basically he seems to think that humans will always manage to find work especially in labor-intensive sectors like health care and education. Past innovations and their impacts on the economy are used as evidence for this theory. I personally disagree with this main conclusion but I'm interested in what other people have to say.

My model for slow takeoff looks like unemployment and GDP continually rising and accelerating (on a world basis).

I should add that I think a slow takeoff scenario is unlikely.
