It's a reay high-stakes responsibility. Erring in either direction is terrible.
Now ask people to sign up for that stress and heartache, but only offer a barely liveable salary.

There are of course horrific jobs with shit pay and lazy ones paid way to much but I believe even supply and demand market mechanisms aren't doing what we want them to. Perhaps to ensure they are all real to put a $500 tax on each job offer and charge $20 for seeking a job, count them, sort by occupation, increase minimum salary where demand is much larger than supply, lower it where supply exceeds demand. Perhaps compensate randomly chosen people to review what a job is like and rate if they think it should be paid more or less. Something quite similar could be done for the length of the work day and the number of days per week/year. Max 11 hours of driving could be insufficient if there are many job offers. If there are few hours it can be adjusted to say 10 hours and 30 min along with a 5% raise.
