Sorry, but I don't understand what point you are making here. You appear to be now no longer wtiting anything about the use of monetary policy, viz the interest rate, to control inflation and now about the workforce. Some employees you have sitting about getting paid for drinking beer. In a free market economy, industries won't be paying the beer drinkers. In the public sector, this is far more likely to be the case but our economy is predominantly private. The "invisible hand" predominates. Private sector seek to maximise profits, and consumers seek maximise satsfaction from every dollar they spend. The consumers' pattern of expenditure determines what and how much goods and services are produced, and the beer drinker has no value to industries at all as they seek to maximise profits.
Understanding economic incentives requires one to acknowledge that economic decisions made are done on personal greed. And this is exactly why capitalism works brilliantly. The "invisible hand" without government intervention.
Or just minimal intervention eg the welfare sector, for example.
