Look around. Probably, if I said : let's make a society that has everything we have now, and changed everything once a year, you would say it's impossible, we need millions of workers. Yet - we have unemployment.
All the service sector is gone. For my society from the miners, to the builders of the machines, to the ones operating them, you don't go over 15%. No more cars, airplanes, nothing. Some main roads - maintained, some secondary roads, all for distribution of stuff everywhere, and that's all there is. Maybe some railroads. People free to travel without carrying everything, just move and supply on the road, and - free to move and settle wherever they want. There will be enough land left, besides the system's agriculture, for people to have some small farms or whatever they want.

Look at how much junk food is produced today. And you say we need more workers ?

America's biggest crop, grain corn, is completely unpalatable. It is raw material for an industry that manufactures food substitutes.
