It is well known that construction site wages are different from those of ordinary office workers. They are not monthly, some are calculated quarterly and some are even settled annually. In this case, the friends of migrant workers have to feed and live their families and simply do not have any extra money. Therefore, they need to save the extra burden of rent.
Migrant workers are a special social group. They have left their hometowns and are traveling from there to the cities. They are doing the hardest work and they have a low social status. Many migrant workers go out to work together, and most of them choose to work in construction sites. After all, this is where they can excel if they have the strength. No other requirements. While there is no shortage of work and jobs on construction sites, the quality of life is quite poor, especially when it comes to food and shelter, which is very simple.
Group quarters on construction sites are usually simple mobile homes, temporary quarters for migrant workers. There are so many workers and so few houses that many are limited to cramming dozens of people into a single room. Even some of the rooms had pairs of couples. They slept like one worker on bunk beds, separated by curtains, and they had their own little world. But, in the eyes of the common people, such a scene was unbelievable. After all, couples always have privacy and need personal space. There are many inconveniences in this environment.
Despite the difficult and awkward living conditions, the problem has not been solved for many years, and there are still many migrant workers who live with their husbands in mixed housing until now. Some are confused. The wages for working on construction sites are not too low. Some people can even get thousands of dollars in wages. Why can't they rent a house?
In fact, there are many difficulties why migrant workers and couples don't rent houses. The most direct reason is naturally because of saving money. Renting in a big city is a big expense. Many couples are in the habit of forming partnerships. Even if they rent a house in the suburbs, they have to rent a room and a hall. This is still in second and third tier cities. If you are in a big city like up north, the price will be higher. Migrant workers are not well paid and must send a lot of their wages home to support their families. For them, saving a little is natural.
In addition, migrant worker groups are highly mobile, especially on construction sites. Sometimes it is necessary to change places within a few months without having to rent an apartment. As a result, they carry very simple luggage with them. Renting an apartment will definitely increase the unnecessary burden. In addition, the wives of many migrant workers often come out to live with their husbands for a while, and some of them return home after a few months to bring up their children. So they would rather stay in the dormitory for a while than spend time looking for a house.
