I live in slovenia, stuff like construcion, cleaning/housekeeping, garbage disposal, etc. is mostly done by (more) southern balkan people (bosnians, serbs, albanians, etc.). Even if you go further north (austria, germany, switzerland,...), it's easier to talk to eg. construction workers if you know any of the ex-yugoslav languages, than using eg. german.
