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?
Again, what is your problem with people who have jobs that require less skill than yours? Because the only explanation I can come up with is just snobbery.

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…
