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

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

Skilled: Nurse, mechanic, chef, teacher.
Unskilled: labourer, checkout operative, security guard, production line worker. Forget all the "every job is skilled..." rubbish. If I'm having a heart attack I don't want a hospital cleaner working on me. Of course that's not to say a hospital cleaner isn't skilled to some respect, but you don't have to study to clean, right? |

And I wouldn’t want a lawyer to make my birthday cake, people have their jobs for a reason and everyone has to be good at their job, otherwise they’d get fired, a lack of need for training, doesn’t mean a job is unskilled, it’s just not as hard to pick up as other jobs may be

The reason most balk at the idea their job is unskilled is it leads some to think anyone can wander in off the street and do it, of course it doesn't take 3yrs to train but the term 'unskilled' is outmoded.

It's interesting that you never hear skilled people that there is no such thing as an unskilled job, do you. |

So yes it is the label that I take exception to. I wouldn't try to convince you, I haven't attempted to suggest that they are the same at all, of course there are job specific skills that have to be attained before you can be classed quite rightly as competant in that role, nurse, electrician, plumber. However, as TS said there are jobs mine included, that even though there is not a mandatory qualification we require certain training and experience to be effective and competent for the level of responsibility we have, it's certainly not 2 days! That's why the term unskilled can seem a little disconcerting. I have actually yes, my sister is a nurse practitioner and she wouldn't dream of saying that.

I don't think terming jobs as "low skilled" is particularly helpful - sure, wiping old ladies' arses or flipping burgers all day isn't particularly difficulty, but I wouldn't wanna do it!
