The book covers this by interviewing people working those roles - and by and large they consider their own jobs to be useless.
Graeber is not making these claims as an armchair expert, decreeing whose jobs are useless. It's an anthropological study of the people who themselves think they have a bullshit job.
(And then speculating on why these people feel that way and to a much lesser extent what we should do about it)
I'd highly recommend reading the book! It's much more nuanced and reasonable than any 5 sentence comment can be
