    You’ve bought into the toxic idea that only paid work is real. Raising your own kids is work. Cooking food for your own family is work, growing food for your family is work.

    This kind of labor, and much more, is just as real and important as paid labor.

      The fuck? You do know you’re in a thread about “jobs”, not about generic “work”, right? No one said anything about generic work, this thread was about jobs, i.e. getting paid so you have enough to live.

        Exactly, and that’s a big problem. We need to talk about it, whenever the topic comes up. It’s called “invisible labor” for a reason.
