When we look at functionally important jobs in our society, the patterns show?

The most notorious pattern shows that those who are qualified to occupy a role of functional importance, which is the degree to which a job is unique job and requires skill, tend to earn more than those who support lesser functions.

Whether only a few or many other people can perform the same function adequately is directly related to the expected proposed wage, meaning that the lesser the amount of qualified people that can successfully perform a task the greater the wage is expected to be.
