I think the people with BS jobs were the least likely to lose them in the pandemic.
All the paper pushers, software engineers (after years in the industry I can confidently say that many SE jobs are BS jobs - you may do something but that something is still BS) and useless managers just switched to WFH and tried to maintain a veneer of activity with BS Zoom meetings.
On the other hand plenty of cashiers, waiters, janitors... all lost their jobs.
I think a better sign that many jobs are BS jobs is that it seems many companies did not register a drop in productivity as a result of people working from home. Likely that these people weren't producing much value before.
