    It’s a matter of degree. Comparing the training of a delivery driver or custodian to that of a doctor, engineer, or professor is, frankly, just stupid. This is what is meant by skilled versus unskilled labour.

      No one made such a comparison. Again- any training or education is learning a skill. It doesn’t matter if it’s 8 years in a university or 8 hours as a dishwasher. There is no job I can think of that doesn’t require at least some training or education. Can you?

        Jobs with minimal training required are unskilled labor.

        Was that so hard to understand?

          “Minimal training” = learning a skill.

          It is skilled labor.

              No. Being trained to do something is learning a skill. It’s that simple. I’m not sure why that isn’t clear to you yet. How many more times do I need to repeat it?

                Ok fine. We want to be obtuse. Let’s separate it into minimally skilled and more skilled.

                  That would be more accurate than what is used now. Why are you so hostile against the idea that people with less skill than you still have skill? It seems like snobbery to me.

                    Because yall are being pedantic. You know exactly what unskilled labor refers to. But because you want to be pedantic we have to change words to say the exact same thing. Not for a good reason… just cause. I guess all the minimally skilled people were offended?
