One should also consider that more jobs are being removed, because machines, PCs and robots can do that.

But instead of implementing those systems labour is still a little bit cheaper, so capitalism being what it is, workers are being forced to work for less and less money. In Germany you often need two jobs just to pay your bills and stay 'alive' if you want to call it that.
In England during the Thatcher 'era' it seems they decided to stop producing anything and instead cut each others' hair (sorry, but this is not even from me but from an english friend). And while a partially service-based society is not a bad idea, it is too little to get an economy going.

If basic 'existence' is being guaranteed with a certain (very low) amount of money for all, it takes a lot less bureaucracy to organize and manage this system.
And i guarantee to you, with humankind, envy and looking at the neighbour all will try to be better, and lift themselves above others -> get a job, work, whatever. The rest will not work ever anyway, and forcing them will not lead to a productive workforce.

It is high time to rethink the whole system, without bias and prejudice.
