Packing boxes is not skilled labor. Yet even burger cooks should make a living wage.
I always thought skilled labor was anything that took either vocational training (AC repair, mechanic), a trade that had an apprenticeship (electrician, plumbing), or a college degree (geo surveyor)
E.g. any job that required special training, proof of proficiency in a skill, and experience.
Skilled or not people need to be able to make enough money to literally live.
Either cost of living prices have to go way down or pay up. Minimum wage hasn’t kept up with inflation and that’s just an issue we need to deal with.
