The problem is that value creation is meaningless to people who are losing their jobs. Homelessness sucks.

Like it's impossible to get another job?

We can't babysit people their whole lives, nor should we subsidise jobs that don't need to be done. I recognise I'm privileged in saying that, but even so the vast majority of people get by without special treatment to preserve their jobs (every worker in retail and hospitality).

There is no reason, usually, to give special treatment to these jobs.

I'm just pointing out why, in your words, we see "political parties harping on about job creation".
