    Is there such a thing as “skilled labor” as an inverse, or is that also a capitalist myth?

      all labor is skilled labor. Some skills are more prevalent than others.

      Trades is a good example. Plumbers and electricians are generally paid quite well. Specialist industrial trades, welders, etc. can be paid amazingly well.

      Although so can grass cutters, pool boys and painters and they seem pretty unskilled to me.
