Many people wear jeans to work, and most jeans have a small pocket (originally for a watch). “Few people know this, but the tiny pocket on your jeans is for your salary” is a jocular explanation that has been printed on many images.

Many people put a guitar pick in that small pocket. “If I put a guitar pick in my pocket, does that make it a pickpocket?” is a related joke.

It’s a watch pocket, originally for men who wore pocket watches and needed a protective place to store them. Though, as Levi’s points out, the pocket has also served many other purposes over time, from condom storage to coin hoarding.
