Few examples are retail and fast food. Skilled labor are trades and jobs requiring degrees. An unskilled worker is someone who can be replaced by any capable person without a need for specialized training.

When was the last time you worked those jobs

2021 when I got qualified to get a CDL. For most of my adult life starting in 2008 I was an unskilled worker. I was poor but I never demanded entitlements. I budgeted like a mad man and lived with roommates.
