This has been a philosophical concern as well as an economic one for a while now. John Maynard Keynes had some notable thoughts on the future of work leading to a utopia of less work and the same/more reward (and he was incorrect).
But rather than get into the political/economic/philosophical argument, there might be an individual solution: people don't pay for what takes the most work, they pay for what is in the most demand. These are often not the same thing, and you can leverage that.
