What can people do instead of technology jobs, to make real productive work in the labour market?

Sometimes I think about this. Things humans need: food, shelter, healthcare, energy, water. Working in one of these industries or improving access/efficiency of these things could be useful. But there are a lot of tech startups, i.e vertical farming that end up wasting capital because the economics don't make sense.

> And in the tight market, supply of workers is high: Some 780,000 registrations were submitted as of July 31 for this year’s H-1B visa applications

If the market is as over-supplied as this article claims, is it getting more difficult for companies to plausibly justify hiring H-1B?
