本文简要描述了今天的美国(U.S.)并试图为建筑业对其工人最看重的东西提供证据。作为德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校一项研究的一部分，该报告展示了来自19个项目工地的862名建筑工人的社会和人口特征，并将这些数据与基础更广泛的劳工统计局数据进行比较，以确定他们代表美国建筑劳动力的程度。通过统计分析，本文探讨了工人的属性与行业如何补偿他们之间的关系，这一关系体现在时薪和平均年收入上。统计结果强化了多年经验的重要性；然而，它也提供了证据，证明每个工人拥有的手工艺数量和计算机知识的重要性。获得的证据较少，但意义重大，证明了这一点的重要性。
This paper briefly characterizes today’s United States (U.S.) construction workforce, and attempts to provide evidence for what the construction industry most values in its workers. It presents the social and demographic characteristics of a sample of 862 construction workers, from 19 project sites that were interviewed in 2002, as part of a research effort at the University of Texas at Austin, and compares them with broader-based Bureau of Labor Statistics data to establish the degree to which they represent the U.S. construction workforce. Via statistical analysis, the paper explores the relationships between workers’ attributes and how the industry compensates them as reflected in both hourly wages and average annual incomes. The statistical results reinforce what is known about the importance of years of experience; however, it also provides evidence of the importance of number of crafts each worker possessed, and computer knowledge. Less, but significant, evidence was obtained for the importance of t...
