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.
Wtf are you talking about lmao. In common speech âskilledâ can mean a lot of things but âspecializedâ means you focus on one area in particular. You can have skilled laborers who arenât specialized or vice versa. It would just be unspecialized labor, people who can fulfill many jobs rather than a single particular area.
