If you look up the "mouse universe" experiments you'll understand exactly what's going on. This poster has the right sentiment.

Our civilization is built of roles, and we need people to fill those roles. There are work roles (farmer, cop, president, etc) and then there are social roles (best friend, husband, father, lover, etc). Our psychology rewards us with feelings of completion and fulfillment when we hold multiple desirable roles and identities. "I'm the homeowner, the good son, the hero."

What's happening is we have too many people and not enough roles. And not just job roles, also social roles. We don't need anymore boyfriends. We are maxed out on salesmen. We are at capacity on sons and daughters. I don't need anymore friends. There's a hero on every street.

As a consequence any work that you do towards achieving any of these roles is probably just busy work. There's no vacancy. If it feels like your work is meaningless that is because it is.
