Jeremy Rifkin argues in his book The End of Work that as technology continues to replace jobs, new work values are needed to make working in the voluntary sector more attractive for people who can't find paid work. Rifkin also suggests that there will be a shift towards a more service-oriented economy in which knowledge-intensive jobs will be created, but he does not argue that this will offset job losses from automation. In fact, Rifkin believes that automation will ultimately lead to a dramatic reduction in the number of available jobs. He does not argue that postsecondary education will lead to more positive attitudes towards work or that new technologies are creating more jobs than they are destroying.
