You say that if your children aren’t salaried enough for their efforts they would change jobs and do just fine.

Doesn’t that same rationale apply to the person working in a factory which runs about 100 degrees on a summer day, lifting product, running presses?

And to answer your question, my working conditions were not that bad. But I don't think the tax benefits for overtime are limited to workers with those conditions.

Many government employees get overtime. This includes transit workers, the post office, TSA, VA, CPB, and FEMA. Most of those jobs are hard to get. And the people that I know that work in those areas usually want overtime.
