There are a shitload of jobs that are (as coronavirus crisis and the list of jobs deemed essential in many countries shows) "much needed" for keeping a country running: anything medical, public transport, childcare/education, logistics, groceries/other food, infrastructure upkeep (electric/water/phone/internet/gas grid).

But unlike jobs that label themselves "system critical" such as banks, investment vulture funds and others of their ilk, the really essential jobs have one thing in common: extremely shitty pay, sometimes outright exploitative working conditions.

What is more "essential", the job doing the essential work or the job creating the conditions that makes others do the essential work?

>>Normal+ub
The essential jobs are those without which society would collapse and lives be in actual danger, as well as the dependencies of these jobs.

Lost interest when you claimed medical jobs have extremely shitty pay.
