And how would you define the labor of a master/journeyman electrician or plumber who spent 10-20 years on the job every day learning and practicing their craft without taking four years out of the workforce?

Edit: I know this is the dictionary definition you've copied, but that doesn't make it accurate, language evolves, and today "skilled vs unskilled labor" is used as a way to suppress the working class.
