According to Priti Patel as of this February, the "low-skilled jobs" category includes paramedics, phlebotomists, physiotherapists and radiographers... pretty sure you're required to train for all four

There's no such thing as low-skilled jobs, just badly paid ones

All jobs require you to be skilled, otherwise you’d do a bad job and be fired, ‘low skilled job’ is just an invented classification to justify the most needy being paid the least possible amount

Yeah I hate hearing "low skilled" when if anything it's usually hard working jobs.

What context are you talking about, is it the ONS report on those most affected by corona? I don’t think it’s skill, it’s down to how much social interaction they have in their job which gives them most contact with the virus

it's lazy reporting rather than actually report proper facts lump a load of jobs together all of which have lots of human interaction and call them low skilled, surprised they didnt add in consultants as so many have died of Corona

[parmnion]

i cant copy link on this laptop cause im old, but check out the latest ONS figures on low skilled workers and covid.

[caprimint]

yep, it's really debatable. i even know kitchen porters who get like £11 an hour

It's an insulting term that shouldn't be used.

Most of these 'unskilled' workers are the ones that have kept this country running the past couple of months
