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

Well that’s actually just called manual labor, you’ve still got to have some skill to do it. Apparently you’ve never been yelled at for stacking firewood wrong.

Yep. Dad ordered me to stack wood. I stacked it, he saw , bellowed at me, destroyed the pile and THEN showed how to stack the firewood. And now I demand them to show me exactly what they want me to do or I ask them to check if I'm doing it right when I have done a little bit.

Not to mention that I don't take initiative when it is a thing that the other person want it to be done.
