Why a "full-employment economy?" That's crazy.
With automation, simply speaking, a small minority of people can accomplish all the work that needs to be done. For example, in a few years there won't be human taxi drivers. Individuals perform tasks that occupied huge masses, and that power is growing exponentially.
Moreover, to create unnecessary tasks to employ people, will lead to destruction of resources that we, as a society, will need to preserve.
