Does managing those problems improve the material conditions of the planet and humanity? If not, then I am not sure you can say it produces value. If you work for a company owned by the 0.1% then your labor does the opposite, the more wealth you create for the oligarchs the more power they have to destroy the planet and democracy

I think that most people with stressful frustrating and difficult jobs could make a good argument that they indirectly improve the material conditions of humanity.
