Jesus wasn't a socialist, but I don't think this parable is about economics. It's about how God's will and generosity won't necessarily conform to our human expectations about what we "deserve". Hence the repeated saying of "the last will be first and the first last", which brackets the beginning and end of the parable in Matthew 19:30 and Matthew 20:16
I don't think this parable is about economics
obviously, parable is not about economics,
but to start with parable, he was obligated to use something well understandable to surrounding people as a starting point, and this starting point was taken strictly from economics
