Unskilled labor is otherwise known as the skill to be able to turn your brain off and do monotonous shit for 8-16 hours a day. Its a hard skill to learn.

I have done both skilled and unskilled work, and for some reason unskilled work is always harder. Sure the skilled labor takes some training, far more than the unskilled labor (by definition) but the unskilled labor doesn't get easier. Not after a certain point at least.
