Eh. If you can replace someone with practically any able bodied person off the street and a week of training, it's not skilled labor.

Can you technically argue that 1 week of training equates to becoming "skilled"? Sure, but it's a dumb line to draw IMO.

It's dumb to draw any sort of line.

I think it fits the dictionary definition. Don’t you?

skill /skĭl/

noun

  1. Proficiency, facility, or dexterity that is acquired or developed through training or experience. 

    "painted with great skill."

  2. A developed talent or ability. 

    "improved his writing skills."

  3. An art, trade, or technique, particularly one requiring use of the hands or body. 

    "the skill of glassmaking."
