    Usually people use the term “unskilled labor” as justification that those working said jobs don’t have any skills and therefore shouldn’t earn a living wage.

    The anger isn’t in the denotation of the term, but the connotation.

      It’s usually a lower wage because of supply and demand but yeah any wage should be a living wage skilled or not.
