I can’t believe this. Every construction worker I met till now seemed cheerful and enjoying their job. So sad.
How can hard labor be enjoyable. It’s counterintuitive.
I wonder what would be the suicide rate of an investor. I guess we’ll find out in the next Great Recession… 
I would think that building something physical gives you lot more satisfaction than lets say software. Also since there seems to be a huge shortage of construction workers, I thought working conditions would be good.
We won’t be around for the next one. That’s why it’s Great Recession.

This is not lego. The only time you gain satisfaction from hard work is if you actually benefit from the fruits of labor. Working as a construction worker for someone else is like working at the sweatshop.
That’s harsh! 
You may be right. Just didn’t picture them as so unhappy. They included craftsmen also in the list. That’s like plumbers and electricians. They certainly make a decent living. Why are they hurting so badly?
Just keeping it real - the world is not all roses and butterflies. Called a plumber a few months ago - the guy complained non-stop while he was fixing my bathroom sink about how his wife looked down on his occupation.
That’s pretty sad. I need to be more nice to them next time.
