"then jury duty becomes attractive as a source of income for unemployed people, or as a target of scams and cons."
How? Locally the system is a random lottery based on a pool of drivers license registrations. A standard mantra against voter-ID laws is that pool of poor people is highly challenged to obtain ID (which in reality is false, its just a mantra), so if anything there should be a statistical lack of unemployed people not a surplus. WRT scams and cons I guess you'd have fewer people lying about being members of the fully informed jury association or otherwise trying to avoid service, and that aversion to lie should make the system inherently fairer, so again no problem?
