I feel like, especially here in the US, what unskilled means has changed to “any job that doesn’t require a college degree”.

We seem to have almost completely forgotten about apprenticeships and similar career paths.

Right but the point being made is that all jobs are skilled and the ones that people get with no degree and no apprenticeship and no career path to speak of, are the people holding society together. Grocery workers, postal workers, service industry workers, etc. Society is fine if every single private equity firm disappeared over night, it's absolutely not fine without the grocerers, and truck drivers and everyone else doing the "unskilled" labor.

I think you might be making an assumption that I wasn’t. Personally I would consider the examples you gave as similar to an apprenticeship, at least in the context of what I was trying to say in my original comment.
