when i first started in this business, i too, used to think that hispanic workers had a better work ethic. however, after running large construction projects for the last 10 years, i have come to he conclusion that they do not. they're every bit as lazy (ever notice how hardly any construction project finishes on time any more? do you think americans have forgotten how to build?), they have no respect for other trades, they steal from you constantly, and they pretend they don't understand english until friday when their paycheck arrives and suddenly they understand everything you say. <br> <br> don't believe the hype about their work ethic and that they do jobs americans won't do. the fact is is that they came to america, undercut american wages, and have overtaken the construction industry. think about it - if you were a high school american, would you want to go work on a construction project where nearly everyone spoke a different language than you? No, americans would do the work that hispanics do (we used to!), just not for half the wages and in an environment where they would be ostracized. <br> <br> clearly not all hispanic workers are like this. some are great guys. and if i sound angry or bitter, it's because i have to deal with it every day here in texas. after losing tens of thousands of dollars in materials on every project, it would wear on you too.
