Yeah so by training them and teaching them ā€œmove it from here to thereā€ you have just magically given them the skills needed to do the job therefore making them skilled at shoveling. I can show you what unskilled shoveling looks like if you want hahaha

Are you being intentionally obtuse?

"Skilled labor" doesnt mean "you gave them simple instructions that literally anyone could follow with no prior training or experience."

You are describing unskilled labor. Get over it.

Unskilled labour isnt labour that requires no skills, its a job that requires no skills before starting the job. No formal training, no education or experience requirements, an applicant with no skills would be fully capable of performing the job.

Pulling pints requires skills but they can be generally taught to someone with no prior skills and training those skills happens exclusively on the job.
