Menial job
A menial job is a job that requires low skills, is low paid, involves repeating the same tasks, and is perceived in society as being of low value.[1][2] It can be used as a means of discrimination.[3][4][5] Menial jobs are essential for many economic sectors (hospitality industry, retail, agriculture, manufacturing sector). One of the advantages is that it can be found relatively easily and that it offers a secure income in periods of economic crisis and high unemployment.[6][7][8][9][10][11] Examples of such jobs are: cashiers, employees in fast food restaurants, janitors, construction workers.[12][1]
