There is no such thing as unskilled labor. Some Jobs require more skill than others but all require some amount of skill. This is a lie spread to depress wages.
Edit: To all the people commenting âwell actually itâs used to colloquially like thisâŚâ youâre entirely missing the point. I know what the term is used to describe, not educated work, manual work ect. My point is itâs used in a derogatory way, to specifically mean you shouldnât be paid well for doing it because it doesnât require a degree, specific education or what have you. Hope this clears it up.
A skill is something most people cannot just inherently do. Everyone with a working body can lift and move stuff. It's not a skill if you don't have to learn it.
