I'm not saying you're wrong, just what people intend to mean when they say unskilled labor.

What about business owner or landlord?

What kind of skill is it to just be rich and have everyone else do the work for you?

on Fry cooks · c/antiwork · 2 pts · 2y

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.

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.

That is actually pretty nuts.

Imagine having half a million people working under you, and you don't even need them to turn a profit.

Leave first world nations, and you become a god. Not sure why more billionaires don't do that.

Skilled labor is something that you need outside training in order to do.

When someone is an 'unskilled worker,' it means they're only eligible for positions that train them.
