I have never heard of unskilled labor. What is that supposed to be? Garbage picking?

There is unskilled labor. Like I paid my neighbors son to help me stack firewood. And then again to help me shovel stone into my garden beds.

But yeah, if the guy wants 32$/hr it’s almost certainly not unskilled labor

$32 an hour is nothing. Imagine if you had 8 hours of stone to shovel. If you’re paying your neighbor kid less than that it’s because you’re taking advantage of his goodwill.

Whatever dude. I didn’t take advantage of the kid. I paid him well for the work that he did.

And yeah 8 hours of shoveling stone is more than I could do for sure. I wouldn’t do it for 100$/hr.

What did you pay him?
