I actually think pay decreases for entry level and casual jobs because currently they are artificially high due to minimum wage and demand for crap jobs will increase.
For example in any 20k per adult UBI scenario I quit my job and retire but I’d probably try to pick up various jobs I’d like to try out for a bit. So id likely work pretty cheaply to offset the flexibility I want.
Essentially all unskilled jobs become Uber like or the Amazon delivery type jobs where workers bid against each other for who ever will do the job for the least.
Daycares likely get cheaper though as people try to supplement the UBI while not having real jobs.
