minus-squareGBU_28@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·edit-211 months agoThe definition relates to the day of hire. The seeking of new employees. Not the state of those employees after x amount of time working. Some of the boxes here are too simplistic. Being a mason, a brick layer, is skilled.

That’s skilled labor.
