That it is that is - your perception. As the examples illustrate, people differ in the assessment of whether it is dignified or not. The observers differ. The affected people differ.

Not at all. Not. At. All. Obviously you do not know about the working conditions in some branches. Not all low-wage jobs are slavery. But some are, and their share is growing rapidly. Also, exploitation of the socially weak/dependent like this is growing, and it kills regular jobs and replaces these regular jobs with low wage jobs. a six-digit number of jobs. Per year.
That the German economy is still going, has its price. And the price gets payed by the employees: socially, financially, and time-wise.
Anyhow, 1 Euro per hour is exploitation equalling slavery if a company makes a business model from such working conditions. The difference to what the subject needs to live in a month, must be payed by the tax payer. The company abuses the tax payer as well, therefore., And then demands to not get stripped of these cheap slave workers, since paying them ordinary wages would mess up their finances, and that would cost "jobs".
Jobs. Calling such infamy "jobs", is the climax of cynism.
