If I could snap my fingers and be granted a wish no one would have to sell anything, including their time and effort, merely to survive. Under those conditions, those jobs would have to pay enough to /entice/ someone to do that work rather then rely on the implicit threat of pain through starvation, homelessness or what have you, to keep the price of getting those jobs done artificially low. Therefore they must provide enough value to society to justify their natural, uncoerced, price after that likely labor price increase is taken into account. People often do things they wouldn't do if they were not paid. That's business. It is when people do things that they'd rather not else they face pain or death that we should work to minimize. So, if someone wants to work in a mine, or a factory line, or on a stripper pole because it pays well enough knowing that if they don't they could still feed their kids, more power to them.
