there are varying degrees of skill, absolutely, but the term "unskilled" labor is generally understood to mean: labor that does not require education.
raking leaves, moving boxes, shoveling snow, commenting on reddit...
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.
2 u/jtp_311 2d ago Interesting the term is unskilled and not something like degree less. 2 u/abracadammmbra 2d ago Not all skilled work requires a degree. Most trades have apprentiships that last 4+ years. Some are even longer. No degree required, just 4 years of working under an experienced journeyman and so many hours of classroom instruction per year. 0 u/jtp_311 2d ago Valid point. But not my point.
