All labour is skilled labour. If you have to be trained how to do something it’s a skill.
semantically sure, but im pretty sure the implication is that it’s a heavily skill based field, something that you can’t just show up and start doing. As the term skilled labor would imply.
Would you consider someone who just learned chess to be a “skilled player” or would you consider someone who has quite the substantial knowledge of chess, and the ability to play very competently a “skilled player”
i don’t disagree with you, but the point that i’m making here is that a high level chess player, would be a skilled chess player. A novice who just started last week, isn’t going to be a skilled chess player either, they’re going to be an amateur/novice player.
Same can be said for skilled labor, it’s a specific type of labor that requires training and as you’ve said, a very specific skill set to be utilized.

I would consider they had different levels of skills. A skill level if you will.
