- SoftTalker 4y agoThat’s when most people want to work. Do you want to work 4-midnight or midnight-8? Even if you do, many other people don’t want the noise of a working construction site at those hours.
- rr808 4y agoI regularly work until midnight. I'd think lots of construction people are young and/or immigrants without families here. If you offered them a night shift with overtime pay is a good choice.
