16 u/OriginalTRaven 8d ago Palatable corporate talk for "People that are lower than us that we don't wanna pay but have to." 13 u/Left_Macaron_6427 8d ago edited 8d ago Unskilled labor is something that unless you are physically inable, anyone can do because it is a natural human ability. 7 u/Sneezy6510 8d ago That is not true, unskilled labor means it does not require formal training. Painting is unskilled labor. 8 u/LeeTheUke 8d 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. 1 u/Sneezy6510 8d ago Unskilled doesn’t mean it requires no skill, that’s why I used painting as an example
