For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

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 You're really hung up on an outdated academic definition that just isn't accurate or used the way you think it is.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.
Please see my earlier comment. I can't find DOL definition for skilled vs unskilled at all, let alone one that matches yours.
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.
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.
