1.- The logistics costs between Mars/Venus and Earth would be
staggering.
2.- Therefore, the Mars/Venus economies would be exclusively "local"
economies.
3.- Therefore, the Earth economy would stay pretty much the same.
4.- Nevertheless, you cannot move "most" jobs to anywhere, simply
because consumers are workers and viceversa. So people who stick
around will continue working and trading amongst themselves.
5.- You could, however, say that "the most productive and thus higher
paying jobs will be moved to Mars/Venus". Specially if they are
knowledge worker kind of jobs, which would nullify point #1.
6.- So I think Earth will be just fine in 2050, and we'll have only
limited trade with Mars and Venus (unless long range teleportation is
invented).

I hope this clarifies your econ sci-fi speculations! :)
