Job losses I'd give 3-4 years before we start seeing serious problems, but it will be an ongoing issue from now.

Technology will phase in as it always has, but specifically full drive vr, I'm guessing 15-20 years, reason being is that it requires preliminary technology that is still in development such as much better quality bci's, better understanding of the brain and where all of our data inputs for the brain are. Full drive vr and mind uploading will be within a few years of each other. Having said that, you might get a more basic version in around 5-10 years that is very close.

UBI I'm guessing 5-7 years following on from the mass unemployment, its kind of slowly coming in, covid payments, here in the UK the government just gave us a bunch of cash towards our energy bills, so governments are aware of what's coming and have proven they are ready for UBI, but it will require much more automation to make sure inflation from UBI does not outpace the deflation of increased automation.
