The book covers this by interviewing people working those roles - and by and large they consider their own jobs to be useless. Graeber is not making these claims as an armchair expert, decreeing whose jobs are useless. It's an anthropological study of the people who themselves think they have a bullshit job. I'd highly recommend reading the book! It's much more nuanced and reasonable than any 5 sentence comment can be
