When it comes to jobs and standard of living there are larger concepts which I do not hear people talk about.

1) Everyone cannot be a millionaire. Planet does not have enough resources and the pollution would kill us all. Unless it is "millionaire in terms of free time to enjoy life".

2) As automation increases a societies ability to support the population, it can decide to spend less time working and more time enjoying life and gaining wisdom.

3) Working should only be a means to an end, not an end in itself. If possible.

4) We humans need to learn to engage larger concepts. Engage in more abstract thinking.

I doubt sentient beings more advanced than we, work much at all.
