On the planet I live on 30% of global population works in agriculture. Automation is inevitable and is happening for decades. More often than not it does't mean smaller farmers are given nice houses on the beach for exchange of doing nothing, it works more like huge benefits go to single megacorporation, smaller farmers are pushed out of the market to poverty.
Once food is taken care of, a great pressure would ease off and people would find themselves with more money, which then might be exchanged to less work.
Same reasoning can be apply to housing or even to medical care. The people who build houses would get the best spots for new houses, or the rarest food, or social recognition and status. And so the medics, teachers, etc.
This can't and won't happen in a day. There are many gotchas and unforeseen problems. But we can start working on it and planning and taking small steps towards this goal. It doesn't have to be all or nothing: it can be, for example, 1 hour off the working day every 5 years, for example.
