Pay more. Stop asking people to give up their physical health to compete on the job. Give them a career.

Construction wages have decreased, adjusted for inflation, so it's not a surprise there's no interest in taking those jobs.

You are being sarcastic, but that is literally the fix. If you offer backbreaking work without matching compensation, it's clear that you won't get any applicants.
