China Construction Workers

Workers gather for lunch at a makeshift eating area near a construction site in the Lujiazui Financial District of Shanghai, China on 29 December, 2009. While China owes much of its recent economic revival to the vast and cheap labor force made up by hundreds of millions of migrant workers, it is facing an uncertain future as the number of able bodied workers have passed their peak and wage continues to rise.
