Absolutely, for better or for worse, labor markets will effectively pay a "bonus" for immoral or contentious industries and employment, and discount wages and conditions for those which are virtuous or desirable.
In short, being able to sleep at night is a form of non-cash benefit, and the fact that everyone wants to do it increases the supply of labor for those jobs.
contentious or morally repugnant jobs are just the opposite, shrinking the available labor pool and inducing an intangible cost on normal people who take them on. Of course, if you're a psychopath or morally blind, you as an individual do not pay this psychological cost, and benefit from the increased wages and conditions deriving from the relative shortage of labor.
There's a reason they call it the dismal science... :p
