I'll elaborate.

As humans, we want and need and crave automation, science and technology is what we do as the species. The automation is there precisely for that reason: to eliminate jobs we'd rather not be doing, so we could move on to something more interesting and meaningful.

A small (and ever shrinking) subset of humans wants and needs the whole world to keep the concept of a "job" as a requirement for survival of pretty much everybody who isn't them, because it's what their ever-growing economically superior status relies on. They want everybody else to NEED jobs, so they don't have to!

You see, it's kind of a contradiction: we can't have both at the same time. And I don't know about you, but in my books, the imperative for the species trumps the imperative for a small subset of it.
