Some construction companies don't pay proper overtime and vacation/holdiday pay. And it's easy to say, report them and go find another company to work for, but there is not much choice right now with the economy. Would this happen in an office job? No.

You have no idea how wrong you are. It happens often in the restaurant industry and it DEFINITELY happens in office jobs. They don't do it outwardly or anything, but they basically force people to work extra hours by the amount of work they put on them combined with performance reviews. My mother regularly works 3 extra hours per day without any extra compensation. Such is the life of salaried jobs. You lack an incredible amount of insight if you think this only happens in labour jobs.
