Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

No job is unskilled. Not all jobs are skilled.

I work in a "skilled" position where it is completely reasonable to expect to be able to hire someone and have to spend very little time training them. There will be a bit of onboarding as with any job, but the nuts and bolts of how to do their job.

I'm not saying "unskilled" jobs don't deserve a living wage, far from it. I'm just saying there's a reason there's a difference between the two, and one commands a premium.
