"The hiring of Haitians in the construction sector of the Dominican Republic is almost obligatory due to the refusal of Dominicans to carry out heavy and unskilled jobs, revealed the Dominican Association of Home Builders and Developers (Acoprovi).
María Gaton, president of the union, explained that "we want to comply with the employment of a proportion of 80% of Dominicans and 20% of foreigners, as established by the Labor Code, but the Creole workers do not want to do hard work".
"Given this refusal, we are forced to hire Haitian immigrants who do not have a technical level; that is, they are not carpenters, varilleros, masons, but it is a workforce that is generally developed in all countries by immigrants, "he said."

Dominicans steer away from hard construction labor or pay isn't enough to attract them?
