Unskilled labor isnt a real real thing. It was created to devalue blue collar workers. A construction worker is seen as unskilled but if you were to try and build a home next to a construction worker you’d realize how much skill they have at the matter.
I’m sure the neurosurgeon can learn to lay bricks (or flip burgers, or bring food to tables, or clean floors, or operate a forklift) faster than the other people can learn to operate on brains.
Unskilled labor is a common phrase, not a literal meaning. I doesn’t mean “you don’t need any skills”, it is about jobs where you can quickly learn the skills (usually in under 3 years).

That’s why I defined it the way I did as labor that doesn’t require training. This concept was taken straight out of Marx.
