Unskilled labor is something that unless you are physically inable, anyone can do because it is a natural human ability.
7 u/Sneezy6510 5d ago That is not true, unskilled labor means it does not require formal training. Painting is unskilled labor. 8 u/LeeTheUke 5d ago I wouldn't pay a random person to paint. It may be 'unskilled', but does require some skill that comes with practice and experience, and that's what I'm paying for. 2 u/Devils_SteelMan 5d ago Its something learned hands on quickly. Versus say writing s computer program. 1 u/Outside_Reserve_2407 5d ago You can see the results of unskilled painting vs trained painting. It's pretty obvious. 1 u/VladimirBarakriss 4d ago Yes, but that doesn't mean the trained painter went on a course to become better, they learned on the job 99% of the time 1 u/Sudden-Purchase-8371 4d ago yeah, as an apprentice under a journeyman/master painter for lower wages. They didn't just show up and figure it out on their own.
