People get paid based on the relationship between how rare a skillset is and how many people are willing to pay for the products produced from that skillset ... Effort comes into play with this because (from a very young age) we all know which skillsets are worth more than other skillsets, the skillsets that are difficult to obtain retain their value over a long period of time, and people who put in the effort to develop these valueble skills get rewarded with a job that pays well.
