Do you want wages based on the level of labor effort

Ah, that would be the Labor Theory of Value expounded by Karl Marx.
So, no.

or based on the skills required?

To paraphrase Little Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman), "Skill's got nothing to do with it."

There is a very high skill required to the Lord's Prayer on a grain of rice. How much are you willing to hire this person for?


The only true basis of a wage is as high as it needs to be to convince qualified people to take the job.
