semiskilled
Some expertise needed
Semiskilled describes work or workers requiring some training but less than a full trade or profession demands.
A semiskilled job involves tasks more complex than unskilled labor but without the expertise of skilled trades: semiskilled factory workers, semiskilled assembly line positions.
The term often appears in labor classifications and wage discussions.
