Daycare workers 

[shookspeare]

In the US it's 100% teaching

 

that being said, training for teachers should be rigorous as it is in countries that value their teachers like Finland. in the US basically anyone can be a teacher now  the whole system needs an overhaul

Medical workers, carpenters, farmers, teachers, janitors, basically those who keep civilizations standing.

Teachers, firefighters (they make $30 an hour on average to literally save people from burning buildings, service workers, all frontline workers who literally hold up our society, nurses, therapists.

 

This country absolutely fails the people who keep society running and it makes no sense.

Healthcare workers. It wasn’t until after the pandemic peaked we started getting some appreciation. 

Firefighters, waiters, and strippers too.

I agree with most responses here. Also want to add bus/train drivers and conductors, mailman/woman, waiters/bartenders, grocery staff/store staff, basically the people who I need in my life so I can live. They all deserve more respect that they get.

Cleaners and carers both get paid badly and looked down upon even though they’re very much essential jobs as the pandemic showed us.

Teachers and service workers are the most obvious answer, but therapists deserve so much more respect too.

[byzantium]

Every traditionally female profession.  

[manwhore]

Stock day traders — jk. they offer absolutely no value to society. Tell what value they bring 

 

 

ot —- teachers for sure. Also hard working people building roads homes businesses. I’m always at aww at how truly hard working they are. Every working class person tbh.

[A.R.L]

I think most of the jobs mentioned here are already highly respected, but yeah I think the cleaners and caregivers deserve more respect. Imagine a world without cleaners 

[TrueBlood]

I've always thought that barista/servers are probably the more underrated categories of workers. You definitely don't need a degree of some sort to do that, but if you think about it, they're incredibly essentials for a large amount of population and they give you food, which is basically the most essential way, together with clothes, to spend your money.

Teachers, by far. They're underpaid, overworked, and people don't respect them nearly as much as they should (in the U.S. at least)
