      Everything is skilled labour. For 99% of jobs you couldn’t roll up and be proficient at it without training or practice.

        But correct me if I am wrong, but in my country skilled labor means you have to have a relevant formal education to qualify for the job, (in addition to getting training on the job which is inevitable).

          You are correct.

          Yes, all jobs take skill. Unskilled jobs usually mean jobs that require no prior training or experience. They will train you and you will get experience there.

          They’re jobs for, currently, unskilled workers. Or at least, workers that do not have a skill they can transfer over to the workforce.

          Phrasing means whatever the powerful groups who promulgate the phrasing establish that it should mean.

        Yeah, but not all jobs offer training on-site.

        If you’re an unskilled worker, you’re only eligible for unskilled positions, i.e. ones that don’t require outside training.

      Came to say this. It’s hard labor, sure, but it’s probably the least skilled job there is.
