Can a construction laborer with the following physical limitations find work?

Can a person who is limited to only "occasional overhead lifting, no lifting over 35 pounds above shoulder level and no lfiting over 50 pounds under shoulder level " perform the work necessary for Construction Laborers or Construction Workers?

Can a construction laborer with the following physical limitations find work?
Nope.





Construction laborers work in a physically demanding environment and are relied on to be able to jump in and help with a number of tasks.





Someone with extreme physical limitations like these would be more of a liability then an asset on the jobsite.
Reply:If they were in a specialized field such as an electrician, carpenter, or plumber, they probably would not have terrible issues, but I would not know.
Reply:Yikes! Why would that even be an option if now they have limitations? Get some advice from the rehabilitation commission in your state. A new type of work is likely.
