No. Being trained to do something is learning a skill. It’s that simple. I’m not sure why that isn’t clear to you yet. How many more times do I need to repeat it?
That would be more accurate than what is used now. Why are you so hostile against the idea that people with less skill than you still have skill? It seems like snobbery to me.
Because yall are being pedantic. You know exactly what unskilled labor refers to. But because you want to be pedantic we have to change words to say the exact same thing. Not for a good reason… just cause. I guess all the minimally skilled people were offended?
Yes, I know what the term refers to the same way I know what the term ‘stewardess’ means, but we decided that was a sexist term, so now we say ‘flight attendant.’ Language can change. Language that is obviously classist can definitely change. Changing obviously classist language should be done.
And if you still don’t agree, perhaps you could tell me where the dividing line is, specifically, between ‘skilled’ and ‘unskilled.’ You seem to believe these have precise definitions, so exactly how much training is required to make one skilled?
Jobs with minimal training required are unskilled labor.
Was that so hard to understand?
“Minimal training” = learning a skill.
It is skilled labor.
Fucking breathing is skilled labor by your definition.

Ok fine. We want to be obtuse. Let’s separate it into minimally skilled and more skilled.

Lol, ok. Fine, I’ll call them low skilled jobs. I’m sure that’s so much better, right? It almost sounds worse, but if that’s what your want…
