      It’s a skill. Just a lower skill, as it’s not that hard to learn or become good at it.

        Yeah and that’s what “skilled labor” means. It is about people with higher skills required for their job, skills that are in high demand. There is a huge difference between a doctor, programmer, CAD designer, and a cashier.
