The value the customer gets from the labour should be higher than the cost the employer pays to labour, otherwise no labour will be bought or sold.

If the price of a persons labour is insufficient for their living needs the only option is to draw it from society (welfare/charity) or have them suffer. Trying to pass that on to the customers or the employers of labour directly will result in unemployment.
