  • It’s not about whether or not you require knowledge or abilities to perform the jobs, but whether or not you are expected to already have certain qualifications to even get the job. So unskilled labour just means that it’s an entry point - you can learn it on the go.

    I do not disagree that these terms are less important in today’s world where everything is overly automated and the entry-level has risen. But these terms did have their purpose. And not the wording “unskilled” has changed our society’s discriminating look on these jobs, but it’s the other way around.
