Many construction jobs in NYC are highly remunerative, more so even than many jobs that "can be done sitting in your underwear at home". It seems a trend recently to conflate truly low wage jobs -- for example bar back or nursing home aid -- with perceived low status jobs, that nonetheless pay somewhere between pretty and very well -- for example MTA bus driver or union crane operator.
