Obviously. Manufacturing and construction jobs are the opposite of "bullshit jobs". You can point to something you built and feel satisfied. Anybody can understand it. Service jobs are demeaning because the service worker always has lower social status than the person they serve. Of course politicians care about the same jobs the voters care about.

I'm not sure about that. Does a doctor have a lower social status than his patient? Does a politician have lower status than his constituents? Does a banker have lower status than the one applying for a loan?
Those aren't pure service workers because they also have an obstructionist/rationing role. They have the power to prevent you from getting medical treatment/loans/etc., which raises their social status.
