I don't think that just anyone can do construction. That might be the position you could take if you're sitting in your car at a stoplight watching them do something, but there is a certain amount of knowledge you need of a construction site, and certain tasks you have to be able to perform.
I worked fast food as a teenager. Those people are paid poorly because almost anyone can do that work. It has nothing to do with how much profit is generated; you're replaceable by nearly anyone and within a moments notice.
