I think I'll take up dropping litter. It will make work for road sweepers, and Civil Enforcement Officers to catch me and issue me with a fixed penalty notice and people to process the FPNs. We'll need more anti litter campaigners and the professional organisation that supports and encourages them will be able to take on more staff.
Well - people must have jobs, right? Fair enough, this is reductio ad absurdam (as they say in Germany) bad it's not far off subsidising car factories to keep people in work making cars that no-one wants (which is why the factory needs closing.)
People don't need jobs - they need a full belly, a roof over their head, and access to information and communication. (That's a rough and ready list, but it will do to make the point),
