    As a person with a fucked up back, a strong back is a skill. Don’t tell me ditch diggers and porters don’t have skills.

      You can teach a ditch digger the skills to dig a ditch the day you hire them. Hence they are an unskilled hire.

      A strong back is an ability.

        So what you’re saying is it takes a day to reach someone the skills to be a ditch digger?

        So it’s skilled labor?

        They’re unskilled when they get hired, skilled after a day of training. Might not be a lot of skill required, but that’s still not 0
