replyHuh? It's not clear to me what you're trying to say here.
Exercise is optional, labor in a manual labor job is mandatory
replyMeaning, you can somewhat opt out of the damage sedentary labor does to the body by exercising and using your body. It is much more difficult to avoid manual labor from damaging the body.

Some guys choose to do joruneyman work, but they typically have the option if they're not mute or something. It's a choice ij my experience (They like OT or working alone or hate travel)
replyCorrect. Dozens or hundreds of workers for every manager or foreman.

replyAlso 1 foreman in the electrical field runs effectively 50 guys max if good, and smaller sites might be 10 men to a foreman. I currently have 3 foreman running 5 to 6 guys each at my current company (2 close sites of 3)
