Quite a bit of US economic activity is middleman busywork. Tax prep, private insurers, excessive financialization of various forms, etc.

Surplus of useless roles but a shortage of workers for useful roles (healthcare workers, teachers, trades, rail and truck transportation, etc). Labor ain’t fungible.
