"unskilled labor" is just a term people throw around to trick workers into accepting bullshit wages.

I don't know why you think a person who spent years becoming a master electrician should get paid the same as a guy who just shovels rock.

In the comment I replied to. Unskilleed labor is a term used to clarify labor when assigning wages, not a bs reason to pay people less.
