    Is there value in characterizing certain kinds of labor as “unskilled”, and if so, who realizes the value, and who imposes the distinction?

      Some jobs need education to do and certain qualifications to know overall what needs to be done and when . Either way getting mad at someone for not having the same qualifications but getting paid a living wage is not an ethical basis for a grudge. And the most unethical person in the mix is ignored.

        All jobs may be described as you have done.

        Again, who imposes such distinctions, and who benefits from such distinctions being imposed?

            Some have considered such questions more carefully than others.

            I am only suggesting everyone consider them personally, before anchoring to any strong opinions.
