>>>>>Most of the men were working construction projects at the airport.

Since the 1970’s the hourly wage rate for general contruction labor in DC Metro has been reduced by anywhere from 40 to 60 percent. I know that because I used to work construction here as a part-timer in college.

Laborer crews that used to be a mix of races, ages, and ethnicities are now almost 100 percent Hispanic. You will rarely find a caucasian on a laborer crew, as was very common 20 and 30 years ago.
