it doesn't really make sense to create a socially average wage using all of these industries, some service, some industrial, some administrative, etc, when value is accumulated using different mechanisms. for ex, it is worth it to go into what a service worker's relationship to (Marxian) exploitation is. why has service work (the dominant us industry) been so difficult to organize?
lets break it down

. for ex, it is worth it to go into what a service worker's relationship to (Marxian) exploitation is.
Marxian exploitation is an incoherent sophistic concept intended solely to justify taking other people's money. There is no actual way to divide the workday of an accountant or janitor or cultural studies professor into "wage" and "surplus value". Marxists are simply too dense to realize that in their theory there would be no justification for social programs that tax workers to pay welfare recipients.
all value beyond that required to reproduce the worker is surplus
Good 100% meaningless evasion.
maybe they should move to a less expensive city
Maybe they should become an electrician or take one of the $50K/year sub-associates degree level trades which society is going to collapse without.
