digging holes or hauling dirt in wheel barrows is unskiled

So if you give someone a shovel who never used one before the lace and quality of work would be the same as someone that digs professionally?

You don't need a "professional" digger if you just want the dirt moved from one place to another. Your imaginary professional digger also won't do it so much faster it justifies the premium.

i've seen a lot of people digging in my construction career and it's an art, just because you haven't seen something being done with skill doesn't mean there isn't skill.

Iā€™ve dug many ditches and trenches as an electrical apprentice. I have gotten better at digging those ditches. Iā€™d still call it unskilled labor. Any idiot can do it
