I don't understand your point. Yes, there's a lot of unskilled jobs, possibly a majority of jobs. Far from everyone looks down on unskilled jobs, and nobody is saying they're not important.

Bricklayer work isn't classified as unskilled labor nor are masonry helpers.
Neither are jobs like carpenters, roofers, pipelayers, cooks, truck drivers, clerks and many, many others.

What unskilled labor were you referring to a brickie using then?

The brickie's "laborer", I literally said it in the post you replied to; the person who moves bricks, makes up the muck, generally keeps the brickie supplied with materials.

I agree they are necessary, otherwise they wouldn't be employed. It's just that they are not skilled labor.
There is nothing wrong with honest work - skilled or unskilled.
The thing about "unskilled" jobs, everyone seems to look down their noses at, is that they facilite the people doing the lofty jobs of: lawyer, doctor, c++ programmer, etc. Without them getting done for you you couldn't do what you're doing.
Can the brickie work without their "unskilled" laborer? Sure, but good luck getting you house built in a reasonable time.
