wages for labor in the US have stayed flat or decreased overall, since the late 1980s.. these figures are competitive for high-tech or other specialized work. The roads are not only not well-maintained, this is a top-10 worst city in the US roads place.. so wages+benefits go up and yet the work result is worse than comparable other cities

They are about what I'd expect. Should they be underpaid like much of labor? Is it the worker's fault that the roads are in bad shape? I doubt it.
