Unskilled does not mean un needed.

People take that label entirely too personally, if your job can be taught in an afternoon with a training video, it's unskilled. Doesn't mean it's not hard, just means it's not complicated. Anyone could be pulled off the street, be handed a sledgehammer, get pointed at a rock, and told to make it into smaller rocks. It just means there's a large pool of people available who can do it. As long as that is true, there's going to be someone willing to do it for less than you.

Yeah, I worked at a CNC bases factory during the summer. My job was stick the part in the machine, pull it out when the machine was done, stick the next part in the machine, deburr parts. Not a difficult job and training took literally an hour and most of that was teaching me how to do all the quality checks. It was about as unskilled as it gets
