Yes. That's not the whole point of all jobs.
No. I’ve probably had 20+ jobs in my lifetime and only expected to make enough to live with maybe half of them . The idea that working fast food, which I’ve done and anyone with a pulse could do, should pay enough to pay all of an adults living expenses is preposterous and makes no economic sense at all.
There are plenty of other jobs that anyone with a pulse could do and make more than fast food. But of course those jobs make total economic sense, right?
Not sure what those jobs are - generally the less skill needed the lower the compensation. If there are some easy jobs like you say that pay better and employer and employee are both in agreement that’s great.

I'm not arguing the OP's point but...
A fair wage represents an exchange of equal value. This does not speak to the viability of repeating that exchange as profession; only that reasonable compensation has been given for a reasonable amount of work.
Your assertion makes no sense to me. I feel like I'm missing something.
