    “skilled” and “unskilled” labor have actual definitions. Unskilled labor is absolutely a thing

      You have to learn something to do the job. It literally doesn’t matter what you do, it requires knowledge and effort, that is not no skill.

        We know what you mean and in a very literal sense you are right. However, there is both a legal and colloquial definition that basically means “low to very low skill job.”

        Low-skilled/unskilled labor” is a term used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to categorize work that requires little or no experience or training to do or consists of routine tasks.

          Everything takes training, routine or not, I don’t care what a capitalist government organization decides it is. You can’t just walk on to a job and start doing it.

            This is eerily reminiscent of conservatives getting mad that gays can get married and instead wanting them to have “some other word”
