Not quite. Maybe in the US there is an abundance of unskilled people, but over
here the stock is slowly running out. There is a shortage on low skill
secretarial workers, maintanance workers, cleaning ladys and the sort. Almost no
one wants to do those jobs, because they are boring, low pay and low status. Alas
the Dutch track record in education is much better then yours. Because educations
are attainable (read affordable and good) for everyone with half a brain and some
sense. So people usually go for it and make sure they are educated. And right
they are.
