    Requiring skill doesn’t make it “skilled labour”, though. The phrase means more than “labour that requires something that meets the definition of skill”.

        Investopedia has a definiton.. It seems to provide a breakdown of a lot of related terms.

        I also would make the argument that not everything that needs to be learned should be described as “skilled”.

        Saying the word “the” needs to be learned. I wouldn’t describe saying “the” as “skilled”.

          What is your intention from “should”?

          From your suggestion, whose interests are being protected, and whose harmed?

          Why should anyone in particular dominate the process of establishing usages?

            Why should anyone in particular dominate the process of establishing usages?

            Why should you be the one who defines skilled labour?

            What benefit is there to collapsing the definitions of unskilled, semi-skilled, and highly skilled labour into skilled labour?
