Not with strong worker safety laws you don't

Former safety manager here. Workers are dumb with their toxic masculinity, and safety isn't baked into the standard of work. Literally, it's not part of the engineered labor standard.

That construction worker has made more money at his entry level job than you have in the last twenty years mom!

~$24/hr x 2080 = $49,920 x 20 = $998,400. + 36/hr x 520 OT = 18,720 x 20 = 374,400. = $1,372,800 + benefits in 20 years.

Mom = -$200,000 first 4 years in reality -300,000 with interest for college. $9/hr full time job for 2 years outside of your industry. $17/hr first 3 years in your industry. $20/hr next 5 years. $25/hr next 5 years. $23/hr due to salary cuts last 1 year.

-300,000 + 37,440 + 106,080 + 208,000 + 260,000 + 47,840 = $359,360 for mom in 20 years with the good benefits only coming after she gets salaried.

Congrats, this is what the gender pay gap has been about since it was created. Men destroy themselves and off themselves in droves for it.
