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.
