FYI, the skilled vs unskilled categorization is intentionally designed to suppress the working class by claiming jobs that are “unskilled” labor do not require a livable wage, because “anyone” could do them.
Skilled labor (n): labor that sets, as one of its prerequisites, that a worker must be able to take four years out of the workforce in order to practice it.
And how would you define the labor of a master/journeyman electrician or plumber who spent 10-20 years on the job every day learning and practicing their craft without taking four years out of the workforce?
Edit: I know this is the dictionary definition you’ve copied, but that doesn’t make it accurate, language evolves, and today “skilled vs unskilled labor” is used as a way to suppress the working class.
