In July 1981 I did some of the stupidest construction work imaginable in North Texas and got $8/hr to do it.

That's $28.31/hr in November 2025 dollars.

Think anyone today in that area gets $28.21/hr for construction labor? Mass illegal immigration is why.

My sister’s friend’s husband made $12/hour in 1968 doing sheet metal work in Albany, NY.
