    The problem lies in the fact that we need to categorise these subjects to write more effective policy. And it doesn’t matter what words you use, they always get these connotations as familiarity grows.

    Technically skilled as in requiring education (financed by the state), unskilled can learn on the job within days.

    But politics has a way with twisting those words into a us/them dichotomy.

    Skilled labor is economists jargon, so the meaning of it does not match the dictionary definition.

    No one is saying there is literally no skill involved in unskilled labor.
