The "fact check" rhetoric on this is "they were just temporary jobs lol"

Disguisting, acting like a "temporary job" can't be the difference between standard of living and poverty for a family

These people are inhuman

Temporary, as in jobs as long as the pipeline was being built. Not temporary like a 20 hour a week temp. Just temporary full time jobs like most construction jobs over multiple years.

Yup. The kind of “temporary” that puts six figures into middle class households. Not $9.75/hour doing gig work or pouring lattés.

I’m disgusted.

Those “temporary” jobs pay 100-200k+ a year. For the same person getting a local blue collar job, that salary is 4-8x they would get elsewhere. The energy blue collar jobs can be life changing for those willing to accept what goes along with them. (Weeks away from family, etc)

Technically all construction jobs are temporary. You build something, finish up, then build something else!! Rinse & repeat
