More generally, any business requires the net inputs (labour, materials, processing, etc) to cost less than the customer is willing to pay for. Poorly paid market-driven unskilled labor is the foundation of many positions. Aside: Waiters and bartenders can do really well for themselves. I know people who've gone from part time waiting to full time call center at 15$/hr and have less take home now. In my city, wait/bar staff are entitled and insanely compensated for their labour in comparison to their peers.
