Have you done construction work in Iraq? If so, how was it? How safe did you feel? Were you well paid?

Question

My husband is considering doing concrete work in Iraq, and they are offering a huge amount of money. How many American construction workers are killed there every year?

Answer 1

You will get paid approximately 70% over what you make here as an average depending on the Company. Plus around $87,000 per full year tax free if you stay employed for over 360 days overseas. KBR pays it Truck Drivers approx $92,000 per full year. This does not include any benefits or the fact that most supply food, lodging, Transportation there and in country. KBR pays for 50% of your RR plane ticket home plus paid vacation. You can make a lot of money if fully aware, prepared and don't waste money overseas. Good Luck and consider your plans carefully.

@dded: KBR and others are doing a very large constrution job in AL Kut Iraq right now. Large US Military base there and several US Military camps.

Answer 2

Are you looking for stats, before you make a decision ? What does is matter how many, all it takes is one stray bullet and that one could be your husband. You got to ask yourself the question...do you feel lucky ?
