Framing is hard labour?

What is your definition of hard labour?

For most trades, generally, they are paid to both do some minor physical work ( ie move material X from point A to point B) and then install it correctly. It is my opinion that unless the 'carrying' part is well over 50% of your job, it isn't 'hard labour'.

Now, there are grunts who could be hauling plywood or other materials all day that I would consider to be hard labour, but I wouldn't consider them framers.
