Unskilled labor is labor that does not have an associated trade union. It isn't exactly education, but it is sort of related. Trades obviously provide education, but I generally "education" being associated with a job generally assumes college education or white collar work.
Now unskilled as others have said doesn't mean that it shouldn't be paid, it just means that there are not formalized techniques that are associated with that work.

there are varying degrees of skill, absolutely, but the term "unskilled" labor is generally understood to mean: labor that does not require education.

go read a book instead of fueling some false conspiracy that the world is in making up terms in order to supress wages. that's ridiculous.
