I am not limiting new jobs to "thinking labor".

I am not limiting new jobs to "thinking labor". Elementary school teachers and teaching assistants need to be good with kids. Being good with technology is a very distant second. For hands-on, as an example, there is a big unmet need for people to do home improvement projects. Good contractors are fully booked for months out at least where I live. The real problem, IMO, is guarantees: uneven income and no benefits as a home improvement contractor is a major roadblock for many people. It is great as a side project, but not as primary occupation. Providing safety net, at least in health care, can help with this.
