some labor is worth more than others

Duh

some labor does not require any skills

Wrong.

picking something up and moving it doesn't

Yes it does. Proper lifting technique, the muscles to lift whatever it is, coordination and balance to not drop that shit, likely math skills would be involved in such a job, likely written language skills as well.

Just because you can't think of the skills it requires immediately doesn't meant there isnt skill being used

All labor is skilled in some way, thus all labor should be paid fairly.
