Is there is job that isn't value extraction for profit?

That is the entire point of hiring someone is to make more profit.

Workers cooperatives typically focus on more than pure profit since the values of the workers and owner are aligned.

These can be broad and intangible goals compared to seeing the money numbers go up and down, like instead of getting laid off in economic hardship, the worker/owners receive a pay cut. Or you might hire more people than there's work so that everyone can leave a bit earlier.
