A recent survey from construction clothing equipment manufacturer Workwear Guru has ranked the best places in the world for construction workers. The study considered three major factors: the average salaries in construction, safety, and cost of living. South Africa was the highest ranked country from the Southern Africa region at number 50. It has an average salary of US$14,839, a cost of living of 44.21 and an incidence rate of 18. The index adjusts states and cities for transportation, grocery costs, and other utilities that impact the quality of life for a construction worker. Using data from Salaryexplorer, the study also compared the average salaries for construction workers and adjusted them based on the cost-of-living index for each country. Using data from Lloyd's Register Foundation, the safety for countries was measured by percentage of people who answered affirmatively to whether they've been seriously injured while working.
