Definition

  • Unskilled work can be most broadly defined as work that does not require education, training, experience, or special ability to perform. It tends to be performed in “bad jobs,” or jobs that are low paying, usually with poor working conditions. [Source: Sociology of Work: An Encyclopedia; Unskilled Work]
