    Many concede as inevitable that work should be miserable.

    There are some jobs that suck, but they’re essential. Like maintaining sewers in big cities. It’s a miserable job, but if no one does it you’re going to have huge problems really fast.

    Supply and demand. There’s a high demand for workers of all sorts, but no employers want to pay the high price for having a worker on staff.

    It’s not that no one wants to work anymore, it’s that no employers want to pay people enough to live and people don’t want to be forced to work 90% of their week to still not make enough money to live.

    Business owners that don’t understand that are entitled and stupid.

      Why do you describe certain jobs, such as the ones you chose to mention, as being inherently miserable?

      The motive for my observation was to provoke reflection over the essential factors determining how we experience work.

          Unfortunately, you seem too angry and confused to participate in a meaningful conversation.

              As I say, you seem quite embittered.

              You are also attacking a straw man.

              Perhaps take a day or so to unwind, and then try reading my question again (including the entirety of the comment).
