Another reality check:
Front page of one of the local papers last week. Brickies in Brissy making $1200 A DAY.
Most Brickies get really good dough but not that good. Some Brickies generally get paid linked to performance. i.e. - so many bricks etc.
These are the guys who make hay while the long Brisbane Summer Sun shines.
- also makes up for the days off due to rain, short winter days or other subbies/supplier stuff ups etc. or when there are half-days due odd jobs/small jobs.
Supply and Demand - Try getting a concrete slab laid, fitter or carpenter in under three months on the East-Coast!.
