The term being changed to mean something else by whoever is writing these articles is the real crime; how do you not understand what unskilled labor means? Changing the term isn't going to earn you better compensation for something that doesn't require formal or specialized education. Get over it.
Thank heavens we stopped hiring unskilled labor.
Anyway, back to hiring from a talent pool that is as wide as possible due to a lack of barriers to entry because no particular requirements are necessary for employment and thus we can get away with paying the bare minimum and still getting enough job applicants. If only there was a word for that scheme...
Maybe if they were called "jobs that don't require years of training" instead.
Though I agree in principle. Just because a full-time job doesn't require years of training, doesn't mean it shouldn't pay at least a living wage.
Nooo. But it's a conservative myth those jobs don't require training!!!11 Try reading meme again
