Most “unskilled labor” is heavily skill dependant. You wouldn’t want a chef, builder or painter who didn’t know what they were doing. And for production: machinists, mechanics and foremen make or break profit with their skills.
So what’s a better name for these jobs?
Edit: I have been told that plumbers don’t qualify as unskilled, and as such they have been exchanged for painter.
So “unqualified labour” might make more sense? Makes you sound like a bit of a wanker saying it, but maybe that’s a good thing.
Honestly, I never considered the way to name it, but yes why not. That said, I tend to not judge people on their job nor on how much money they earn no matter what. For me, a job is what most people do to be able to afford what they need to live their live I’m much more interested to know what they do with their free time and how they think about things ;)
