Unemployment is at 3.8%, which is pretty good as most economist say < 5% is the bar for a healthy economy. So I would say it's not that people are lazy, it's that new industries that provide more economic opportunities appear.
Also, short of economic depression, I'm not sure how you convince lazy people to not be lazy.

There are two ways to motivate people either the carrot or the stick. The USSR's solution to most problems was the stick.
