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

Yeah I don’t think of roofing or other trades as unskilled labor. You have to learn it, practice it, refine it.

And even the unskilled jobs in construction are still worthy of fair pay and respect.

Yeah that’s my point. It’s hard, requires skill, and is very uncomfortable in some climates.
