I'd say there's a strong inverse correlation. Low-paid jobs are usually terrible in other ways too. Well-paid jobs are usually nice.

High pay means that the person creates a lot of value and that there's low supply relative to demand. High pay is offered because employers want to attract workers. If they're paying well, they're probably going to try other things to attract workers as well, such as offering better working conditions.

Low pay means you don't have to try too hard to get workers. That means you don't have to be nice to them.



It's nice when someone explains capitalism calmly without being overtly pro- or anti-. The world needs more clear explanations of how things work, and fewer opinions.
