So...maybe it's that there's a lot of jobs where nothing of value is produced? Or at least, nothing of value to the employee, only to the owners?

Yea I’m sure there’s plenty of jobs where nothing of value is produced.

Think about all the startups that fail. People work really hard for two years, and then the whole thing fails with nothing to show for it.

In the grand scheme of things, no value was created, even though each day the people worked, value was created.
