What is the service equivalent of an economic 'bad'? In general conversation, the terms &quot;goods and services&quot; are often used together. In economics, these terms have the following meanings:
Goods:

In economics, goods are items that satisfy human wants and provide utility, for example, to a consumer making a purchase of a satisfying product.

Services:

A common distinction is made between goods which are transferable, and services, which are not transferable.

In economics, a 'bad', is:

the opposite of an economic good. A 'bad' is anything with a negative value to the consumer

Is there any more specific term for a 'bad' (something with negative value to the consumer) which is strictly a service?
Any labor may be considered as a 'bad' (service) for which you are compensated by the firm by paying you salary/wages.
In modeling labor market, this is generally described in the opposite sense, i.e., consuming leisure. When you work you let go of leisure, which is a good. So that, technically, makes supplying labor (which is a service) as an economic bad.
