    I’m confused, does he actually think a box packer is skilled labor or is this just a whoosh from the girl.

      Warehouse fulfillment is skilled labor. Fast food work is skilled labor. I’m having a hard time thinking of an example of a truly unskilled labor job.

        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.
