>So, the job might advertise $20-40/hr, but many of these guys are making well over $100k annually.
This is not mutually exclusive. Both per hour earnings and annual income are relevant measures. $100k annually for working 2,000 hours is a very different quality of life than $100k annually for working 3,000 hours. The other factors that will come into play are working conditions (for example, outdoor temperatures, working in active roadways, etc), working nights, early mornings, weekends, and frequency and distance of travel.
But it will all work itself out, even though there may be some pains while supply and demand curves move to find the correct prices.
