Menial job explained
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 menial jobs: cashiers, employees in fast food restaurants, janitors, construction workers.[12] [1]
