I'd actually say it's the reverse, all labor is unskilled labor, but some of it takes previous unskilled labor to perform and is thus compressed.

That previous experience, efficiency, and effectiveness in carrying out the labor is the skill.

[-] Cowbee@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Nah, it's just compound labor. "Skill" is just the expressed form of training in current work, ie labor is only worth that which labor is required to replicate it.

Hard disagree. Anything that requires a 4 or 5 year apprenticeship is not unskilled. That's not a trade that you can just walk into and call yourself a journeyman.
