the jobs that actually need to be paid highly and the ones that do have little relation to each other

all those "heroes" and "essential workers" like people running the till at grocery stores should be getting paid a ton

Low skill jobs are unable to demand a ton of money. In most places they are sadly being replaced by self-serve kiosks where the “worker” gets paid nothing -that’s not entirely true, the shopper gets some of it in the form of a price break and the store gets some in the form of slightly better profits (they run at typically one percent net profit overall).
