Absolutely correct. Marshall Brain wrote a seminal set of articles about this some time ago in Robotic Nation which I highly recommend.

This is the socio-economic problem of the 21st century which is how to evolve beyond the labor=money equation which has governed life since the industrial revolution. Anyone who things their job is "secure" is fooling themselves. By the mid 21st century 90% or more of today's jobs simply will not exist because they will be automated out of existence.
