Nice to see more empirical backing of the Bullshit Jobs theory 
The research found that people working in finance, sales and managerial roles are much more likely than others on average to think their jobs are useless or unhelpful to others.
The study, by Simon Walo, of Zurich University, Switzerland, is the first to give quantitative support to a theory put forward by the American anthropologist David Graeber in 2018 that many jobs were "bullshit"—socially useless and meaningless.
Curious that topping the chart are jobs that don't seem that useless. They can be all kinds of shit, but not useless
Yeah I was about to say, as someone who works food service, that while every day I feel overworked and underpaid, the simple fact is that I'm making food and people need food to eat. There's nothing useless about that
seriously? material transport? like the supply chain? that's socially important as fuck.
also construction/extraction? I take issue with the categories. construction is much closer associated with maintenance.
But there's also a lot of bullshit going through the supply chain, transporting fast fashion isn't the most fulfilling job
Especially when the mechanic won't take off the limiter even if you shout, 'But it's fast fashion!'
Got to wonder how much money the bourgeois spend on convincing logistics workers that they're unimportant. If that lot went on strike, the world would stop.
Be interesting to see if these figures are the same in every country. There's an old Soviet documentary that shows dock workers in Ukraine getting a good salary and knowing their worth. It's a bit hard to watch at the moment because of the war, as it shows Ukraine and Russia working together.
The whole reason is that there are 50 people touching each package so they feel useless
Not everybody in the transport industry is there to do logistics and drive the transport vehicles
