    Unskilled means you don’t need prior skills before being hired. That’s all.

    It doesn’t mean someone doesn’t become proficient, or even great at the job while they have it.

      As a person with a fucked up back, a strong back is a skill. Don’t tell me ditch diggers and porters don’t have skills.

        You can teach a ditch digger the skills to dig a ditch the day you hire them. Hence they are an unskilled hire.

        A strong back is an ability.

          So what you’re saying is it takes a day to reach someone the skills to be a ditch digger?

          So it’s skilled labor?

          They’re unskilled when they get hired, skilled after a day of training. Might not be a lot of skill required, but that’s still not 0
