That’s not what people mean when referring to low skill jobs.

What you’re saying would be similar to saying a warehouse worker might be low in technical skill but high in strength skill, which just misses the point that people refer to low skill jobs as jobs that require little education or specialization.

I am not sure everyone shares that definition. Would sales or manager be a low skill job for instance ? For a number of these positions you need little to no specific education or specialisation.
