Jobs are... very difficult to come by and jealously kept. Since the introduction of robots and automation, it's been cheaper and, often, safer than hiring actual humans to do manual labor. Many citizens refuse to work more than a ten hour work week, anyway. And those that do are at higher risk for Future Shock Syndrome, often when they're replaced or they see something in the course of the job that causes them to go Futsie.
[Honestly, the probing is just such a welcome change from the usual screaming, accusations, and dirty looks that she doesn't mind talking so much.]
The most common jobs are, of course, the ones that require the human touch. Mattress testers, chefs, window models, pencil pushes, tax collectors, artists, designers, and the like. But there's never enough to go around.
