      Forklift operators yes, construction workers also yes depending on the region. In many areas of the US the majority of construction workers are undocumented workers and thus kept at or below minimum wage. Forklift operators really don’t make a lot of money. Like more than general warehouse labor but even in decent states that tends to be pretty low on the spectrum.
