The only ones that I believe this can genuinely be true of are people with various types of disabilities. Which I addressed in my post.

The idea that there's this large percentage of fully able-bodied workers who are completely incapable of ever being trained to do any kind of skilled work doesn't pass the smell test. At best, it reeks of various racist/eugenicist ideas.

I guess your belief is based on "vibes", not on actually hiring low-skilled workers. A lot of people are not medically disabled but are just kind of lazy or incompetent or unreliable. This has nothing to do with race or whatever so it's weird that you would bring that up.

Some of those workers can be trained to be more valuable. But employers generally aren't going to hire them based on hope.
