Contributing to public finances isn't the only thing for which we need people, it's not even the most important thing. We are going to need a lot of people to care for the elderly, people working in construction, etc. Which particular group then does the much higher paying jobs that contribute more taxes is less relevant.

Also, things like building roads and infrastructure, picking fruits, logistics, etc. The value of these jobs for the society are not commensurate with their wages.
