> There is no law of nature There is a law of capitalism for it though, which we have, as a species, put well above nature. These jobs are only so shitty because Facebook can get people willing to put up with them. We sit in ivory towers of decades learning to program to be qualified as software engineers making... what I would really call just a reasonable wage for where we, as humanity, are in terms of wealth creation, technology, and productivity. But those are skills built over extreme lengths of time most people don't have, and they will suffer their entire life for it in subsistence wages. There are so few fields today where there is both demand for labor and a requirement of skill to gatekeep the "unwashed masses" from driving the wages to the wage floor. Probably the most damning information I know of is that the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that, one, the largest employment sectors are all unskilled, and two, they are the ones that will grow in the next decade [1]. US society is built on a foundation of despondent poor workers with no future and that foundation is intent to expand faster than fulfilling careers will... all of which make up only about 20-40% depending on how you interpret the data of actual employment.
