Yes...unless we are talking about different things.

take a set of electricians or plumbers for example...they have a few journeymen, some 3rd years, some 2nd years and then 1st year/laborer types. The 1st years are the gofers for the rest of the bunch but only for that particular trade.

If you are talking about the GC guys walking around pushing brooms...then yeah they dont get paid much (in fact i know most places are starting them at 15-16 an hour now) but anyone can do that job for the most part and thats what the job pays when no sills are needed.
