Sandhogs made an average of $45/hr in NYC. National average appears to be $22. That's high but not crazy. It's a dangerous job that can easy kill your coworkers or ruin millions of dollars worth of work. I personally would not to work with some fucktard making 10/hr if my life will depend on him.

Cranes can also kill coworkers and cause millions of dollars in damages. The operators should get a premium.... https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303936704576399...

$82/hr with 56 hours of overtime a week. Okay that's just excessive union bullshit.
