Automated by who?

We do need incentives to work. As technology and efficiency advances we should be able to work less, but we still need people to do work they/we don't want to do.

Personally I think people are pretty happy working 24 hours a week even if their job isn't something they love doing. I'm more interested in working towards that, slowly, over time, than just going to "nobody needs to work".
