You may be assigned as a custodian who cleans and secures an office or warehouse, or you could be tasked to monitor a production line in a warehouse. General laborers can also be trained to work as a pool technician or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.com\/us\/handyman\/general-labor\/\">handyperson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What you do as a general laborer may also depend on your existing skills, training, and licenses.
