Business leaders and policymakers alike need to rethink the "low-skill" job title, particularly after the pandemic revealed just how essential those jobs are, says The Atlantic, which argues that the negative connotations of "low-skilled" are perpetuated by our own biases against what is considered a "good job."
The phrase obscures the fact that many workers in jobs that don't pay well may indeed have skills, they could just be so young that they lack training and/or experience.
In addition, "low-skilled" also devalues the work of many and justifies massive wage gaps between professions.
