The first construction workers begin their shifts from the contracts handed out from the [u]Brick & Mortar Act[/u]. There are no super highways, elevated platforms that resemble titans of concrete and re-bar. Instead, thee local highways are mostly gravel and quikcrete. Nearly 44,000 workers are employed across the entire nation, the vast majority of them doing simple manual labor. Money in their pockets wasn't easily turned down however. As the work load increased, more workers would be hired. [-3.11% Unemployment Rate in Samgola.]
