On a somewhat peripheral note I found this a bit disappointing:
According to the Times, eight out of the ten job categories that will add the most employees during the next decade—including home-health aide, customer-service representative, and store clerk—can be performed by someone without a college degree.
I was kind of hoping we'd be able to use advancing technology to reduce our need for people in the customer service/store clerk fields.

For an entertaining fictional explanation, see Heinlein's Door Into Summer where the inventor of the robots explains why housework is harder to teach a robot than, for example, bricklaying. (I don't know of as short and clear nonfiction example.)
