Look around you, there is plenty of work that needs done.
Doctors and nurses are overworked (so am I in my opinion). The streets could be cleaner. Public services are getting crapper and crapper (back in the 70's bin men came around once a week, walked up your drive and collected the bins, nowadays you have to do take it to the correct position outside your home). Teachers complain about workload.
Every time you have to wait in a queue, think if that would be there if there were more staff.
Its a complete misallocation of resources.
Luckily we are getting more and more of automated self-service tills. No humans, no drama.
Politicians should stop looking at "job creation" as a means of keeping people busy and consuming. A job should be done only if the society benefits from it.
Where have the resources (people) been over-allocated to?
