Yes, I read the same article. It costs a lot more to pay an American worker. 
My wife and I frequently travel to the Caribbean and the last time we were in Montego Bay, some sidewalk repairs were being done at the resort. A handful of guys were doing backbreaking labor in the ~90 heat (100% humidity) for 10-12 hours per day. I asked one of the locals how much the construction guys made. He told me, ~$5 per day.
And some people think they have it bad in the US. Those buffoons have never truly witnessed poor.
