Sorry. You're really hung up on an outdated academic definition that just isn't accurate or used the way you think it is. It's sorta like complaining that people mean figuratively when they say literally.

That’s because you keep looking in the wrong places like USCIS as opposed to say the department of Labor. You could also just google “skilled vs unskilled labor”.

Please see my earlier comment. I can't find DOL definition for skilled vs unskilled at all, let alone one that matches yours.

And the third option was googling “skilled vs unskilled labor”.

I did, thanks. I tried to look for something better or more authoritative than this. It describes skilled labor as laborers that are skilled. I don't see anything about a self-descriptive title.

Skilled labor refers to highly trained, educated, or experienced segments of the workforce that can complete more complex mental or physical tasks on the job.

Unskilled labor is a workforce segment associated with a limited skill set or minimal economic value for the work performed. Unskilled labor is generally characterized by lower educational attainment, such as a high school diploma or lack thereof, typically resulting in smaller wages.

It clearly states that unskilled labor = low economic value and low wages. It then goes on to further stratify labor into "low-", "mid-, and "semi-" skilled jobs with vague definitions. Delivery driver is semi skilled? For ubereats and UPS? At what level is a truck driver unskilled, skilled, or semiskilled?

Customer Service Representative is semi-skilled labor? Most of the few remaining jobs have been outsourced to literally anyone who can speak the language.
