So I guess when someone is forced into prostitution it is "beneficial to them". "Forced in to prostitution" is not a beneficial experience. However its either literally forced (threats, physical force) or its forced by desperation. If its the later than "forced into prostitution includes 2 things. 1 - The desperate need to have an income from any source, and the lack of alternatives, and 2 - The option for prostitution. Its the former that's really bad. Moving back to the low paid worker. "Forced in to a low paying job", assuming they aren't really force in to it. Means that they are desperate, and they have this one option. The option is beneficial, even though their circumstances as a whole are bad. Yep, pimps are GREAT... humanitarians. Pimps often, probably almost always, use fraud and coercion. Nothing humanitarian about that. Even without either, offering someone a job isn't generally something I would consider a humanitarian action, just something that's better than starving because you have no job. Even when not having the job would be better than having it, the option doesn't hurt, because if not having the job is better than you can reject the job offer, so making the offer isn't "nasty".
