It's not even just the value they produce, but more how difficult they are to replace. That's why so many "unskilled" jobs pay so poorly; there's no real need for retention, they can just find someone else.
I think this is saying the same thing. Being difficult to replace raises the value of your labor, being easy to replace lowers the value of your labor.
