@sudsbakerysoaps @USDOL The Department of Labor (@USDOL) defines skilled work as work that takes over 30 days to learn (using the Specific Vocational Preparation system to rate jobs), skills are transferrable to other work, and unskilled work takes 30 days or less to learn (occupationalinfo.org/appendxc_1.html).
@sudsbakerysoaps @USDOL That definition of skilled work is key to understanding vocational rehabilitation, job market, and job placement literature. The degree of preparation before basic mastery of a job is rated by the Specific Vocational Preparation code: 1 and 2 each refer to unskilled work.
@sudsbakerysoaps @USDOL In 1981, Fast Food Cook was last classified in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (under code 313.374-010) as being skilled work with a Specific Vocational Preparation of 5 (indicating over 6 months up to and including 1 year of training required) (occupationalinfo.org/31/313374010.h…).
@sudsbakerysoaps @USDOL Fast Food Cook is now classified in O*NET OnLine (under code 35-2011.00) as semi-skilled–to–unskilled work with a Specific Vocational Preparation of below 4 (indicating less than 3 months of training required) (onetonline.org/link/summary/3…) indicating a substantial change in the job.
@sudsbakerysoaps @USDOL The Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates "[m]ost cooks learn their skills through on-the-job training, usually lasting a few weeks" (bls.gov/ooh/food-prepa…), which starts to sound like the definition of unskilled work (which requires only a month or less of training).
@sudsbakerysoaps @USDOL The @BLS_gov indicates Fast Food Cooks (under code 35-2011) require "[n]o formal educational credential," no work experience, and only "[s]hort-term on-the-job training" (bls.gov/emp/tables/edu…), which refers to job training of only a month or less (bls.gov/emp/documentat…).
@sudsbakerysoaps @USDOL @BLS_gov Fast Food Workers have never been skilled work.
Last classified in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles in 1986 under code 311.472-010, Fast Food Workers have a Specific Vocational Preparation of 2 (indicating a month or less of training required) (occupationalinfo.org/31/311472010.h…).

@sudsbakerysoaps @USDOL @BLS_gov Fast Food Worker is classified in O*NET (under code 35-3023.00) as semi-skilled–to–unskilled work with a Specific Vocational Preparation of below 4 (indicating less than 3 months of training required) (onetonline.org/link/summary/3…), which is consistent with the Dictionary (see above).
@sudsbakerysoaps @USDOL @BLS_gov The Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates "[w]orkers typically learn through on-the-job training, which may last from few days to several weeks" (bls.gov/ooh/food-prepa…), which sounds like the definition of unskilled work (which requires only a month or less of training).
@sudsbakerysoaps @USDOL @BLS_gov The @BLS_gov indicates Fast Food Worker (under code 35-3023) require "[n]o formal educational credential," no work experience, and only "[s]hort-term on-the-job training" (bls.gov/emp/tables/edu…), which refers to job training of only a month or less (bls.gov/emp/documentat…).
@sudsbakerysoaps @USDOL @BLS_gov As performed in the fast-food work environment, did it take you, @sudsbakerysoaps, (or any other worker) more than 30 days to learn to stock, wash dishes, handle orders, cook and assemble food products, serve that food, and clean toilet room biohazards?
If so, you must be slow.
