When people are not needed for labor anymore, where will the demand for all these robot-made goods be?

I’m re-reading Asimov’s “Infeno” and it talks about the great benefits of robots and the problems with robots as well.

One good point made is that there will always be a number of jobs that require humans because they’re more than repetitive tasks. Things like deep sea fishing require and ever changing series of tasks that would simply be too much of a hassle to try and build robots for.
