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.

If you want to call breathing and having thumbs skills then by all means, just don't be surprised when the people trying to pay you don't agree.
