I’ve been a cleaner, and watched other people clean. I had a theory that if you paid $100k (or whatever good salary) you would probably get more value than paying 5 people 20k. I think there’s lots of value in paying people well at “low skill” jobs when you actually want them to be good, but also probably lots of reasons it never gets tried. Most of the time it would be the owner of a small business doing the high value version of the low skill job I suspect.
