Most “unskilled labor” is heavily skill dependant. You wouldn’t want a chef, builder or plumber who didn’t know what they were doing. And for production: machinists, mechanics and foremen make or break profit with their skills.

So what’s a better name for these jobs?

    Edit: I have been told that plumbers don’t qualify as unskilled, and as such they have been exchanged for painter.

    I’d argue painters aren’t unskilled either. Are you thinking of blue collar workers perhaps?
