For others it may be different, that way, each position is filled. Obviously some positions will be harder to fill, so for these, one would need a motivation in form of a bit higher income or other benefits, but these jobs would likely not be bankers or managers. Maybe the guy who cleans the sewers would earn more than the person doing accounting, simply because it is a job that needs additional motivation.

I disagree. For me, I'd go for the job that's what I'm comfortable doing, but not needing to develop anything new, to improve. Since most people wouldn't (why kill yourself with hard work when you can get the same from a more comfortable job? - even one which is satisfying, but easier), everything stagnates.
