Are half the population of the Western world working bullshit, pointless jobs that contribute nothing to human society?

My intuition says, "Probably yes". But I'd like to see some better evidence. Is there some more objective way we can measure the value that someone's #work contributes to #society? The current metric is "If people will pay for it, it has value", so if we can't improve on that we have to accept that these jobs are not bullshit.
