The lowest paid occupations tend to correspond, throughout the world, with certain characteristics that tend to violate the rights of employees, such as informality, the absence of social security or the low technical qualifications required. AND artificial intelligence can be a very useful tool to point out What are the 5 lowest paying jobs in Bogotá, the nation’s capital.
Jobs in Bogotá: the five worst paid
Next, ChatGPT ranking about the five jobs in the Colombian capital in which the lowest remuneration is usually received:
1) Courier and home workers (informal):
Although home delivery workers and couriers can earn more on apps, in the informal sector or in jobs that do not depend on platforms, They usually receive minimum pay or less than the legal minimum wage. This is because many are in jobs without benefits and do not receive benefits such as social security or transportation assistance.
2) Cleaning and Cleaning Workers:
Cleaning staff in places such as offices, buildings or shops usually receive a low salary, and although they are paid the minimum, many also work without a formal contract or with daily payments, which limits their stability and access to benefits. Additionally, if they are employed by cooperatives or outsourcing companies, payments tend to be even lower.
3) Construction helpers (without experience):
Helpers without specialization or experience generally earn between 60% and 70% of the minimum wage. Furthermore, in many construction sites they are not guaranteed job stability, and sometimes they work by the day or by the day. The lack of a formal contract is common, which prevents them from accessing health or pension benefits.

4) Street vendors:
Although some can generate good income in specific times, in general, informal sellers tend to have variable and, in many cases, low income. They depend on the daily flow of people and sales made, without any job security. Furthermore, they are usually exposed to controls and sanctions, which increases their instability.

5) Plant operators in small factories or maquiladoras
In Bogotá there are small clothing or assembly factories that employ personnel below the minimum wage. Some workers, especially in maquilas, receive a payment per production (per piece or garment), which limits their salary if they do not reach minimum quotas. This type of work is often performed under demanding conditions and with long hours.
