Construction IS a labor intensive activity, even as highly mechanized as it is today.
I would like to see:
1- infrastructure repair. Piping, bridges, sewer and water systems, electrical transmission systems.
2- Neighborhood cleanouts. Cleveland, for example, is at half of its max population. There are a lot of abandoned / burned out houses that need to be deconstructed and turned into parkland. Think New Orleans without the flood.
3- Energy projects- hydroelectric power, wind power, solar power stations.
4- Education. There are a lot of smart people who don't have jobs. Set them teaching others and bootstrap our economy by focusing on educating and retraining the workforce.
5- Clean up and build infrastructure in National Parks.
