One of the best ways to add complexity and critical thinking to your writing is to consider the point youâre making from a different perspective, and be able to answer that perspectiveâs potential objections to what youâre saying.
DEFINITION of 'Skilled Labor'. A segment of the work force with a high skill level that creates significant economic value through the work performed (human capital). Skilled labor is generally characterized by high education or expertise levels and high wages.
As a result, the United States has seen a greater demand for education. Unskilled labor, when measured by educational attainment, refers to jobs that require a high school diploma only, or could even be filled by a high school dropout. Skilled labor requires additional skills or education. While the demand for unskilled labor has decreased, the labor pool has also significantly decreased. Unskilled laborers are dropping out of the job market or increasing their skill level.
