As SH is global, want to say up front this is written about the USA. From the inside by someone old enough to know.
There are so many ways to make a living. Public and government jobs are thriving. Yet when look around so many people in them do not actually create anything real.
Seems too many paper pushers punching computer keys with a government paid cell phone possibly in company vehicles going between offices doing things like: monitoring, training, counting, answering, regulating, designating, qualifying, collecting, visiting, meeting, taxing, investigating, litigating, ruling, observing ... all sucking good money making bad decisions often with limited natural resources.
Basic things like drinking water, population, pollution, and fuel (oil, coal, wood, etc.) are going to become bigger future global problems.
Are the surprises from natural disaster bigger or do they make a bigger deal out of them now so more people make a living when they do?
Most of the industry where things are actually created is moving outside the USA for lower cost labor. Computer manufacturing, steel, chips, boards, systems, software, and ... Often technology gets created in the USA. Then with government investments outside the USA perfected and produced creating industry with the jobs outside the US - maglev trains are an example. China could not buy fast Intel computer chips a few years ago now they can buy the chips, have trained their people in our schools, Microsoft gives up their source code to sell there, and now China companies buy the EDA tools to create from a few US companies who need to make dollars to keep doors open. Now EDA simulation designers in China / India with experience are $7 per hour and all the chips, boards, systems,and software is being made overseas. Right next to all the steel, and ... World power has moved elsewhere no matter what we say in the USA.
The US Government regulates free trade so citizens can not get some of the best products for reasonable prices. For example, tax tariffs double the price of the best french products such as Pommeray mustard I never can convince myself to afford anymore.
I used to be able to get good deals on goods overseas, like Kef speakers from England. The US dollar has done so poor in the last decades against the Euro it has become hugely expensive to travel in Europe even though have places to stay and tipped the balance of trade outside the USA maybe forever. Airbus is giving Boeing a run for their life.
US Democrat and Republicans all seem to act the same and no one has unique new needed ideas. They are the same, the current US system beats all politicians into the same mold. So there are no creative thinkers, who are visionary enough to determine needed changes then enable them.
Mortgage, investment, and banking rules are always changing often through government regulation creating the wrong kind of jobs. When if the change didn't happen these people would have to do something else probably more useful to humanity in the long run.
The food we eat in our stores and restaurants is not a known thing. Legal poison. For example, Monsanto BST fortified milk is an example that started in the mid 90s with FDA approval was mixed into the entire milk system - the fox news team couple got fired in Tampa when broke the story so was swept under the rug after as taboo news for anyone else to cover.
When bad things happen and mistakes are made in this country. Things end up in court and that creates more government jobs. Where people are paid big bucks to make nothing.
Educators can do better and do not guarantee jobs for graduates, yet have a guaranteed pay check with some of the best retirements anywhere.
Looking around see big buildings, roads, water, and airways with way too many people not really doing anything when think about it. <span style="color: #009900">{added to clarify as this sentence was being taken wrong. Not criticizing infrastructure builders as they make something. While some are wasteful. And new contracts always seem given to the already rich already retired to put extra in their pockets. Those needing jobs doing the work making things do not ever see big money as those who don't need more get richer - but that is another thread. What was meant when written is see lots of people 100s of thousands (maybe millions) every day moving around in existing infrastructures spending money to have the latest communications in kept up to date modern transportation burning fuel in cars, boats, aircraft, and huge buildings. So many people in: the field, cities, private sector, public sector, ... apparently working together in huge masses moving around while most are not creating anything in the end. Simply communicating, having a temperature controlled desk to work at, the most modern computers, contracts in place for new office equipment every 3 years (printers, scanners, faxes, servers, phone systems, cell phones, etc), and getting people to apparent work locations where nothing is produced. Every day in the USA there is huge amounts of needless wasteful spending disguised as 'business' as well as 'government' where no new results ever come out to show for the huge amounts of money spent. To milk the country and not produce anything real seems normal too often here.}

Other countries have better health care for less spent. While the huge number of medical professionals in this country make very good livings every year for not keeping up with the rest of the world. Where people are not as well taken care of for the money as they could be.
The average US citizen is in their own little world not realizing how good they have it. Most have never traveled to a third world country or camped without running water. When two thirds of the world does not have running water, power, and refrigeration.
