People working for minimal wage don’t produce more value. Considering advancements in mechanisation and automation over these years, their productivity has actually decreased.
Minimum Wage workers/general laborers are the literal backbone of any work force. Their value is literally instrumental to any and all industries. These industries would simply collapse if minimum wage workers are taken out of the equation. And that’s without pointing out that wage isn’t indicative of how important someone is to a workplace.
And automation doesn’t mean much when you still need an entire force to upkeep all of those machines. And I’d bet my right arm and left leg that if wage pricing is left to corporations that they’ll place said workers at minimum wage if they can get away with it.
Yeah this isn’t true.
While automation has made machines more effective than humans in many cases, they haven’t made human labor less effective. Not sure why you would think that.
Advances in tools and software have made every sector of the workforce more productive. There’s a million little things.
They have flattops at fast food places that cook the top and the bottom of the burger patty at the same time. So one worker can do more.
Roofers have faster and lighter nail guns letting them work for longer.
Hell, when I did lawn care as a teen you’d see another crew with some fancy new mower every month, and the improvements were usually worth the costs.

Nope. These jobs are a waste of time and money.
Essential workers from the pandemic looking at this shit take like
Lol right? I thought we all learned this lesson like 3 years ago.
What essential workers? Ocado is fully automated.

Roofers are not minimal wage workers. Minimal wage workers are redundant.
