I think it is going to get much worse. Eventually technology will replace nearly all jobs. In our lifetime we'll see automated cars so we won't need delivery drivers, truck drivers, and taxi drivers. We have machines that can build houses and bridges. We won't need people to work in restaurants because we can order through computers and in California they are testing a robot that makes hamburgers. Eventually we will build robots that will build yet more robots, and robots that will fix robots.
Eventually we will get to the point where you will need something done - say you want to repave your driveway - and you click a button on your computer, machines will drive themselves to your house, give you options on your tablet or computer, and then do all of the work.
Eventually we will no longer have a need to work. At some point in time we will move over to a universal income or basic income. I guess at that point we will all spent our time trying not to get fat.
