I think the workers should be your revenue model. But I also don’t see that generating quite enough revenue without some creative means. Definitely have a tip jar. Maybe non targeted ads?

Crazy idea time. Build out a suite of features for someone to fully document employer abuse. Request a portion of legal windfalls as cost for downloading the data.

Or maybe partner with labor unions? You will have to refrain from the crazy idea though.

This is actually a market where there are many real business models that work. Advertising is the most dominant one via job ads, and that could be a way to go.

Alternatively, I think people would pay for accurately telling them what they should do with their life that would provide them with the most fulfillment; and more if you're directly able to place them in that job/industry (similar to how a dating service could find you the person to marry).
