Doesn't help when high value jobs are not created in the first place.
there's no reason we couldn't incentivize the important jobs..
Why even bother with a guaranteed not terrible job? Seems simpler to go with universal basic income than wasting resources on uneconomic jobs.
"Creating jobs" without creating value is a bad thing.

It gives a bunch of people jobs that wouldn't otherwise have one
I can't see how this creates more jobs

I read this more as being about creating jobs than making money for one's self.
Creating jobs is not a goal. Might as well just pay those people salaries to do whatever they feel like doing.
