that is tough. Labor econmics is pretty blunt. The more a demand for a product or service the higher wages for that product or service.

I mean if an employeer is willing to pay 100k for that position it means the business that position generates hits 100k count plus operational costs plus a net profit

However I think things like day traders, private equity firms, private defense firms are examples of things nobody needs but who gamed the system at the expense of most of us large at the expense of either our tax dollars and or buying (for USA at least) our congress / senate to enact legislations that benefits them but not society overall / by policy legislation.

A lot of the 501C's are useless. many of them have operational budgets that are incongruent to what they provide for their communites. Much of that is subsidized and sometime through our tax dollars. The c-suite at many of those are pulling in over 100k a year.

The TSA may be one of the larger goverment failures in the USA. Their Exec director is appointed (confirmed) by the Senate.
