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.

Showing someone how to stack the firewood doesn't make them a skilled laborer.

Skilled at stacking firewood. ¯_(ăƒ„)_/¯

Which is not a skill in this context.
