I moved within my field for less money and less responsibility but no overitme. It was a glorious low stress choice that I would do over and over again. Though it wasn't a significant drop, less than 10% difference.
I've also known people to turn down promotions to stay technical for less money but less stress. I don't think it exists at the lower wage end of the spectrum. No one is leaving a $20 an hour job for a $15 dollar an hour job because that is a meaningful standard of living change. I doubt most people are willing to sacrifice standard of living for easier work.
