Food preparation, and other low-skill workers can't afford to do it, 30% less income for most of them is below what they need to survive.

Food preparation, and other low-skill workers can't afford to do it, 30% less income for most of them is below what they need to survive. It isn't that they "value money more", it's that they have no choice (well, really they do value money more, but it is because they value not suffering from malnourishment). Additionally, for most people who receive some kind of public assistance (which many low-skill workers do) being out of work means losing that assistance. So once again, it doesn't work for that group of people.
