Building things correctly keeps the public safe and protects the consumer from purchasing poor to unsafe homes among other things....carrying freaking letters and coupons does not.

Depends on his definition of construction labourer. If he's literally talking a labourer, push a broom around, move a few pallets and unload semis, well they don't get paid much at all, unless $18-25 an hour with little to no overtime is good. Tradesman on the other hand I'll agree that they make every penny they earn, especially guys working in the city. Sweat all day during the summer, freeze during the winter and rarely any overtime to boot.
