I was hired at my job (at a fish market/produce stand) because I have the skills to get the job done, safely and correctly. So I'd say we're pretty parallel in that respect. I've got skills you don't. You've got skills I don't. I'm DEFINITELY an unskilled worker.

You did the labor. The government provided the backing and the planning for it. Without them, your uncles, your father, your brother, and yourself would essentially be a headless chicken stapled to a ceiling fan.
And yes, there is a point to that somewhat <EDIT>odd</EDIT> metaphor. Use search. =)
