Robots replacing people is always going to be a social issue, many of the lead developers of the technology have focused on the three D's -
The Dumb, Dirty and Dangerous , Robots will emphasize on assisting those core fields.

Dirty - Digging, lifting and other forms of hard labor that are usually mundane and physicaly exhaustive for people (Coal Mining, etc...).

Dumb - Routine tasks that can be automated (mowing lawns, cleaning, preparing food!)

Dangerous - Space, Aerial and Underwater robotics, Bomb detectors and other miliitary robots also fit this picture.

Should people be perfoming tasks which involve the three D's ?
As robots replace employees, in a humanity sense, it most likely is a good thing. The workers will be at an economic loss temporarily, but the next job might be much more meaningful.
