I'd say basic needs are a safe place to live, food, and some kind of transportation (unless the area is reasonably walkable). As far as who does the shitty labor jobs, they would need to incentivize that work to make it desirable for people, instead of just expecting someone to need to do it to not die. We are also at a point where a lot of those jobs could be done by machines.
