How many users could earn for a minimum wage

So lets just say if you can earn more than 200$ a week that we can call that a job. Not counting posts below 6$ and removing interest earnings.

Real earnings
= 206,488$
= 53,2% of all earnings

Maximum number of jobs
= 206,488 $ / 200 $
= 1032 jobs

Number of jobs per 1$ in steem price
= MaxNumberOfJobs / SteemPrice
= 853 Jobs/1$

The minimum price of creating 1 job
= SteemTotalSupply / NumberOfJobsPerDolar
= 331,243 $

This means we can easily evaluate the maximum number of jobs steem can provide.

For example, with current steem price of 1,21$ * 853 jobs/$
= 1032 jobs

Exploring potentially stable jobs

Let's sum all potential earnings of dlive, dtube, utopian-io, steemstem, dsound, steepshot and artzone.

Platform	Earnings	Number of posts	Average Earnings per post
dlive	22,376$	1,685	13.27$
dtube	21,361$	738	28.94$
utopian-io	8,600$	164	52.43$
steemstem	5,869$	180	32.60$
dsound	4,771$	374	12.75$
steepshot	3,334$	331	10.08$
artzone	3,419$	269	12.71$

Sum of Stable Earnings
= 69,730$

Percentige of stable earnings
= StableEarnings/RealEarnings
= 29.32%

Average number of jobs
= StableEarnings $/ 200$
= 348 jobs

Stable number of jobs per 1$ in steem price
= AverageNumberOfJobs/SteemPrice
= 288 Jobs/$

Minimum price of creating 1 stable job
= SteemTotalSupply / StableNumberOfJobsPerDolar
= 981,079 $

How many users actually earn more than 200$ a week?

Number of users with weekly post earnings above 200$
= 175

Actual number of jobs
= 175

Actual number of jobs per 1$ in steem price
= ActualNumberOfJobs / SteemPrice
= 144 jobs/$

Minimum price of creating 1 actual job
= SteemTotalSupply / ActualNumberOfJobs
= 1,962,159$

Ranking of stable jobs with average earnings

Platform	Category	Earnings	Number of posts	Average Earnings per post

Projection

Number of jobs dependent on steem price

Steem Price	1$	10$	100$	1,000$	10,000$
Actual	144	1,440	14,400	144,000	1,440,000
Average	348	3,480	34,800	348,000	3,480,000
Maximum	1,032	10,320	103,200	1,032,000	10,320,000

Conclusion

Big question is, how could we create more stable jobs?

One solution that comes to my mind is to integrate bid-bots into dlive, dtube, utopian-io, dsound, artzone and steepshot,
because that way these platforms could accumulate more steem power and therefore lower the price of job creation.
