I was also shocked when I visited at the inefficiency and lack of tools for workers comfort and safety in construction.
You would see people working under a flood light at night, with burlap sacks as you said, as well as manual tools that were sorely inequipped for the work they were doing.
It was almost like it was cheaper to just hire someone to beat concrete for 14 hrs/day with a household hammer, for the duration of their life, than to pay $5,000 for a jackhammer and progress 5X as fast.
