Content creator Kamilo Penin, known on TikTok for his advice and support for those seeking employment in the U.S., revealed on the platform how much a construction worker earns in the country.
With over 670,000 followers, Kamilo has managed to connect particularly well with the Latino community, including newly arrived Cubans, to whom he shares practical information about salaries, types of jobs, and the cost of living in the United States.
In one of his videos, @kamilopenin clarified that salaries in construction vary significantly based on the worker's experience and specialization. He added that a laborer with no experience usually earns the least, while those with skills in areas such as plumbing, electrical work, drywall, or heavy equipment operation can achieve higher incomes. He also mentions that wages depend on the state and the type of employer: "If you work with Americans, they pay a bit better; Hispanics tend to pay a little less," he remarks.
Kamilo states that the average salary in construction in the United States is around $35 per hour, although this figure can vary significantly depending on the location. “That would be the average salary for construction workers today in the United States,” he says in the video, emphasizing that employees at companies offering benefits or belonging to a union may earn more.
With this type of content, Penin not only informs but also continues his work of helping his followers better understand the job landscape in the U.S. In previous videos, he has shared job postings he finds both on the street and online, along with advice on how to tackle the challenges of living and working in this country, especially for Cubans who are newly integrating into American society.
