Jobs are also paid according to the danger they pose, often enforced by government or unions.

Want to be an underwater welder? Sure, here's your danger surcharge.

Want to be a cab driver on the night shift? Sure, here's your surcharge.

Only because it's a function of limiting supply (of willing labor). High danger means fewer people willing to do it, which means it pays more to attract willing candidates.

If there are still a ton of willing candidates, you don't get paid extra because you think it's dangerous work.
