Summary

This quote highlights the irony of millions of people being idle or unemployed while still having a sense of comfort knowing that many others around them are employed. It suggests that even though a large portion of the population may not be engaged in productive work or contributing to the economy, the existence of people with jobs reduces the existential anxiety of not being part of a working community. Thus, the quote subtly emphasizes the importance of employment and the psychological assurance derived from the presence of others who are employed.
