Jobs don’t pay based on how hard they are or how hard you work. It’s a combination of how much “value” you bring and how difficult you are to replace. These so called “low skill” jobs pay so little because each individual worker doesn’t provide much value (it’s all economies of scale) and they are relatively easy to replace (the vast majority of people could be proficient enough in a week or two).
