How does our society basically guarantee we have somebody for a specific job?

we have people for odd jobs, we have people who can repair anything in my house, we have people who can repair my car, we have people who drive other people to their destination, but how? especially if some of these jobs seem discouraging from the outside (bus drivers, truck drivers, etc..)

Supply and demand.

Not enough people in a special job? That job becomes more valuable, they pay more for that service. Suddenly, people want to work that job to make more money.

Too many people working some kind of job? That job becomes less profitable to work. It is easy to find workers so employers will pay less for that job.

This creates balance. When there is demand, people will fill the supply. It is not always perfect, but ultimately it is enough.
