Even this seems to imply that there are also dishonorable parts that we are assumed to be aware of. Seems like a disrespectful way to talk about people who agreed to be your photography subjects.
Oh I hadn't thought of it in terms of the laborers themselves. I was thinking about the conditions under which the subjects labor in places like Amazon warehouses and the gig economy. But yes, the sort of anti-labor zeitgeist that permeates the US is definitely one of "labor dishonorable".
