BLS wage scope presented by O*NET | This page corresponds to O*NET/SOC 47-3011.00 (Helpers--Brickmasons, Blockmasons, Stonemasons, and Tile and Marble Setters). It must be stated faithfully: the 2025 U.S. wages presented by O*NET on the 47-3011.00 page are a median hourly wage of $22.86 / median annual wage of $47,550 (2025, BLS OEWS, this occupation's (47-3011.00) own scope); in the distribution, the 10th percentile is an hourly wage of $17.42 and an annual wage of $36,230, the 25th percentile is an hourly wage of $19.28 and an annual wage of $40,100, the 75th percentile is an hourly wage of $27.88 and an annual wage of $57,980, and the 90th percentile is an hourly wage of $33.69 and an annual wage of $70,080, all taken from the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS 2025, as presented by O*NET); that page does not mark the data as taken from a parent or adjacent occupation, so it is presented according to this occupation's (47-3011.00) own scope; production incentive bonuses are included, benefits, overtime, and non-production bonuses are excluded, and the median is not an entry-level starting wage. Mainland China has not established a national occupational wage distribution precisely corresponding to this occupation, and this page registers the gap according to the evidence policy rather than filling it in.

Task sheet and drawing checking → Materials and ratios and mixing → Cutting and dimensions and layout → Scaffolding and edge and opening confirmation → Assisting installation and supplying materials and grouting → Cleaning and curing and records and handover

Mainland China scope and gaps | Mainland China has positions in the masonry and tiling and decoration field similar to Helpers--Brickmasons, Blockmasons, Stonemasons, and Tile and Marble Setters (such as masonry worker, plasterer, tiler, decoration worker, and brick and stone and tile laying assistant), and their work and scaffolding and edges and openings and working at height and machinery and dust and chemical solutions and safety and occupational health and records are governed by the Work Safety Law of the People's Republic of China and related regulations and standards on building construction safety and occupational health and environmental protection. However, the National Bureau of Statistics publishes average wages of urban unit employees by industry category and does not distinguish occupations, and public occupational statistics have not established a national occupational wage distribution precisely corresponding to O*NET 47-3011.00 (Helpers--Brickmasons, Blockmasons, Stonemasons, and Tile and Marble Setters); this page retains the search scope and the gap, and does not infer starting pay, take-home income, or personal quotations from industry averages, recruitment offers, or U.S. data.

Safety and compliance notes | Organize work according to building construction safety and scaffolding and edges and openings and working at height and machinery and cutting and dust and chemical solution and occupational health and record requirements: ratios and cutting and material delivery and cleaning must be consistent with drawings and processes and current standards and must indicate sources and limitations, and must not replace scaffolding acceptance, structural safety determinations, or safety permit requirements; operations involving scaffolding erection and dismantling and lifting and working at height and edges and openings must be handled with work permits and personal protection as required; the collection and use and external provision of project and supplier drawings and technical materials must have a lawful basis, be limited to the minimum necessary scope, and be approved and documented according to policy.

The BLS 47-3011 projection for 2025—2035 is about 14,100 → 12,500 people, growth -11.7%, average annual openings 1,100 including replacements, and self-employment in the base period 1.7%; employment includes self-employment, and this is not real-time hiring, net new jobs, or AI causality.

Accepting the task and checking materials → Materials and ratios and mixing → Cutting and preparation and base surface cleaning → Handling and positioning and supplying materials → Assisting installation and grouting → Cleaning and sealing and repair and records and handover

Standards and quality boundaries | This page involves three types of requirements: first, technical and quality — ratios and cutting and tile setting and grouting and cleaning must be performed according to drawings and processes and current acceptance standards with material and work records kept; second, safety and occupational health — scaffolding and edges and openings and working at height and machinery and cutting and dust and chemical solutions and personal protection must meet building construction safety and occupational health requirements; third, environment and civilized construction — the disposal of waste slurry and wastewater and dust and noise and discarded materials must meet environmental protection and civilized construction requirements; all three are governed by the currently effective version and the requirements of the competent authority and the enterprise.

Records and collaboration | According to the enterprise's construction and quality and safety management systems, record task sheets, materials and ratios and mixing, cutting and usage, scaffolding and edge and opening confirmation, assisting installation and grouting and cleaning and curing, anomalies and rework and outstanding items and shift handover and original records and revision trail, and check locations and materials with mentors and crews and material and safety personnel; anomalies must be isolated and reported promptly.

Boundary conclusion | This page corresponds to O*NET 47-3011.00 (Helpers--Brickmasons, Blockmasons, Stonemasons, and Tile and Marble Setters), and the core difference from adjacent positions lies in "subject matter and outputs and authorization level": this occupation takes blocks and tiles and stone and mortar and temporary site facilities as its subject matter, produces assisted work completed according to drawings and processes (materials and base surfaces and material supply and grouting and cleaning) together with traceable material and work records, completes work within the scope of the mentor's and job authorization based on material and tool and site coordination ability, and is responsible for work safety and process quality and site order; brickmasons and blockmasons produce formed masonry, stonemasons produce stone processing and installation, and tile and stone setters produce finish laying, with different responsibility and authorization levels.

Core concept of adjacent positions | Most positions in the same group and adjacent positions aim to "complete masonry or tiling or decoration work to the specified quality within drawing and process and safety requirements and keep records", with differences in subject matter and outputs and authorization level: some take formed masonry as the subject matter, and some take stone processing or finish laying or on-site assistance as the subject matter.

Core purpose of this occupation | Taking blocks and tiles and stone and mortar and grout and drawings and processes as the subject matter, complete work within the scope of the mentor and safety and authorization: materials and ratios and mixing, cutting and preparation, assisting installation and supplying materials and grouting, handling and positioning, cleaning and curing and records, producing process-conforming assisted work and traceable records.

Main subject matter and basis of adjacent positions | Brickmasons and blockmasons rely on masonry codes and drawings; stonemasons rely on stone processing and installation processes; tile and stone setters rely on finish laying and acceptance standards; construction laborers rely on construction and general work procedures; refractory materials repairers rely on industrial furnace and kiln masonry and refractory material processes. Most of them take formed masonry or stone processing or finish laying or general construction as the subject matter, which differs from this occupation's on-site coordination in masonry and laying.

Main subject matter and basis of this occupation | Taking the project location and drawing number, block and tile and stone specifications, mortar and grout ratios and mixing, cutting and dimensions and layout, scaffolding and edges and openings, material handling and stacking and delivery, and cleaning and curing and protection requirements as the subject matter, complete coordination and judgments according to drawings and processes and current acceptance standards and building construction safety and occupational health requirements.

Occupational profile | The Helpers--Brickmasons, Blockmasons, Stonemasons, and Tile and Marble Setters on this page is the exact occupation O*NET 47-3011.00 (Helpers--Brickmasons, Blockmasons, Stonemasons, and Tile and Marble Setters), and takes on on-site coordination tasks such as materials and ratios and cutting and material supply and cleaning in the masonry and tiling crews of building construction and municipal and decoration and industrial furnace and kiln and road and bridge projects; the work is mainly on-site physical and material and tool coordination, accompanied by handling and delivery and cleaning and records and collaboration, often performed amid dust and noise and chemical solutions and outdoor weather and elevated conditions, and organized according to project processes and schedules.

Core processes of adjacent positions | Brickmasons and blockmasons focus on formed masonry; stonemasons focus on stone processing and installation; tile and stone setters focus on finish laying; construction laborers focus on general construction and demolition; this occupation focuses on on-site coordination for masonry and laying plus materials and cutting and material supply and cleaning.

Core processes of this occupation | Accepting the task and checking materials, materials and ratios and mixing, cutting and preparation and base surface cleaning, handling and positioning and supplying materials, assisting installation and grouting, cleaning and sealing and repair and records and handover; each step must be performed according to drawings and processes and mentor instructions and be reviewable by mentors and quality control and safety personnel.

Main outputs of adjacent positions | Brickmasons and blockmasons produce masonry structures and acceptance records; stonemasons produce stone components and installation records; tile and stone setters produce finish laying and acceptance records; construction laborers produce general construction work and safety records; these differ from this occupation's assisted work and material and work records.

Main outputs of this occupation | Assisted work completed according to drawings and processes (mortar and plaster and grout, cut pieces, supplied materials, cleaned base surfaces and work areas, grouted and cleaned and cured locations), material and work and inspection records, usage and leftover and rework records, anomaly and outstanding item records, and traceable shift and handover records.

Responsible parties of adjacent positions | Responsibility for positions in the same group and adjacent positions is usually defined by the affiliated enterprise and construction and safety and quality systems, and the objects of responsibility are mostly structural safety and finish quality and personal safety and schedules.

This occupation is responsible for its own ratios and mixing and cutting and material supply and grouting and cleaning and records, and for the assisted work performed according to drawings and processes and safety requirements; matters involving scaffolding erection and dismantling, lifting, structural safety, and major quality and safety matters must be referred to the appropriate position or organization according to qualifications and job authorization and policy.

Authority and approval of adjacent positions | The authority of positions in the same group and adjacent positions comes from enterprise authorization and construction and safety and professional specifications, and usually does not include the authority to decide on structural or design changes or major dispositions; matters involving structural changes and scaffolding acceptance and special operations and major rework should be transferred to the appropriate position or organization.

Authority and approval of this occupation | Daily ratios and mixing and cutting and material supply and grouting and cleaning must be carried out within the scope of the mentor and job authorization and process procedures; matters involving scaffolding erection and dismantling and lifting and working at height and edges and openings, and structural or design changes and major rework must be carried out according to policy and qualifications; matters involving scaffolding and lifting and machinery operation qualifications and work permits are governed by the requirements of the competent authority and the enterprise.

Conclusion boundaries of adjacent positions | Conclusions of positions in the same group and adjacent positions are mostly limited to this process or this location level and usually do not constitute a determination of structural safety or project acceptance or legal liability; conclusions that cross disciplines or involve structure and major safety have limits on their applicability.

Conclusion boundaries of this occupation | Ratios and cutting and material supply and cleaning and curing conclusions state only verifiable material usage and work content and results, and distinguish measured facts from judgment inferences and items to be verified; conclusions on matters beyond one's own qualifications (scaffolding acceptance conclusions, structural safety determinations, final project acceptance) must not be issued in one's own name.

Pre-onboarding checklist notes | The following six items are used to check off one by one before applying and onboarding, to avoid inferring actual duties and authorization from the job title or promotional language; the check results should be based on written recruitment information and the employment contract and job description and construction and safety system documents, and should be continuously confirmed after onboarding. This page only lists checklist points and does not constitute a hiring or safety conclusion.

Checklist point notes | Job titles are similar but duties and authorization differ greatly: some focus on materials and ratios and cutting, some on tile setting and grouting and cleaning, some on specific projects (building construction or municipal or decoration or industrial furnaces and kilns or roads and bridges), and some also cover scaffolding and machinery and lifting coordination; different enterprises and jurisdictions have different requirements for special operations and qualifications and safety, so check first and then judge fit.

01 Actual job duties and work and site authority | Check whether you truly take on on-site coordination such as materials and ratios and cutting and material supply, or mainly handling and cleaning and assistance; check the project types and locations you can take part in (masonry or tile setting or stone or industrial furnaces and kilns), the authority to use tools and machinery and cutting equipment, the authority to adjust materials and ratios and layout, and the interface relationships with mentors and crews and material and safety personnel.

Checklist point notes | This occupation often works amid dust and noise and chemical solutions and outdoor weather and elevated conditions, and usually requires training in safety and scaffolding and edges and openings and cutting and dust and chemical solutions and occupational health, and compliance with personal protection and emergency response requirements.

02 Safety and occupational health and working at height and lifting requirements | Check whether the enterprise requires and provides: safety operating procedures and scaffolding and edge and opening and working-at-height training; cutting and machinery and lifting coordination operations and work permit requirements; personal protection and emergency response and drills; requirements for the disposal and reporting of waste slurry and wastewater and dust and noise and discarded materials; and requirements for identifying and reporting structural or site hazards.

Checklist point notes | U.S. O*NET places 47-3011.00 (Helpers--Brickmasons, Blockmasons, Stonemasons, and Tile and Marble Setters) in Job Zone 1-2 (little or no preparation needed to some preparation needed), with an SVP range of below 6.0 (SVP Below 6.0); the education section shows 58% requiring a high school diploma or equivalent, 24% below a high school diploma, and 12% a post-secondary certificate (the page does not account for the remaining 6%); growth is labeled Decline (-1% or lower); in the United States preparation for this occupation is usually short-term on-the-job training and mentor-based training, or vocational school training and registered apprenticeship.

03 Education and training and apprenticeship and qualification requirements | Check whether vocational school training or on-the-job experience or registered apprenticeship is required (that page's Job Zone 1-2 (little or no preparation needed to some preparation needed) and SVP below 6.0 (SVP Below 6.0)); whether mentor-based training or masonry and tiling registered apprenticeship is provided; whether scaffolding and lifting and machinery operation and working-at-height qualifications or in-house enterprise training and assessment are required; and whether the training and assessment cover ratios and cutting and material supply and grouting and cleaning and safety and emergency response.

Checklist point notes | This occupation is mainly handling and physical activity and obtaining information and communication (handling and moving objects 85 and performing general physical activities 82 and obtaining information 78 and communication 75 are the highest activities; exposure to dust and cement and chemical solutions and noise and hazardous equipment and outdoor heights is common, consequences of error are relatively serious, and there are process and schedule constraints), so the site environment and physical and safety tolerance must be included in the check.

04 Pay, working hours, and employment contract scope | Check the composition of the offered pay (base wage, overtime and rush work and high temperature and height allowances, piece rate and crew performance, differences by region and enterprise and project, social insurance and housing fund and labor protection and protective equipment and board and lodging arrangements), working hours and scheduling and project site mobility and rainy season and winter shutdown arrangements, contract term and probation and termination conditions, and training and qualification and promotion arrangements; the U.S.-scope median and percentiles serve only as market reference and are not equal to the offer of any enterprise or region.

Checklist point notes | The interface relationships with mentors and crews and projects and material suppliers and safety parties determine the boundaries of ratios and cutting and material supply and acceptance and authorization and responsibility and disclosure, and must be clarified in advance.

05 Interfaces with mentors and crews and projects | Check the authority to confirm and adjust materials and ratios and layout, the arrangements for applying for and using and reviewing tools and machinery and cutting equipment, the path for ratios and cutting and grouting and nonconforming or rework items, and the requirements for handling and externally providing project and supplier drawings and technical materials.

Checklist point notes | The traceability and record-keeping requirements for task sheets and ratios and cutting and usage and cleaning and curing and anomalies determine quality and responsibility definition, and the specifications for templates and time limits and modification and archiving and authority and retention periods must be clarified in advance (materials involving project and supplier technical materials must also be managed under confidentiality and minimum necessity requirements).

06 Materials and coordination and cleaning and record requirements | Check the requirements for task sheet records, material and ratio and mixing records, cutting and usage records, scaffolding and edge and opening confirmation records, assisted installation and grouting and cleaning and curing records, leftover material and rework records, anomaly and outstanding item records, and work permits and shift handover and original records and revision trail.

Conclusion | The core difference between this page (O*NET 47-3011.00 Helpers--Brickmasons, Blockmasons, Stonemasons, and Tile and Marble Setters) and adjacent positions lies in "subject matter and outputs and authorization level": this occupation takes blocks and tiles and stone and mortar and on-site coordination as its subject matter, producing assisted work completed according to drawings and processes together with traceable material and work records; brickmasons and blockmasons and stonemasons and tile and stone setters and refractory materials repairers focus on their own subject matter, with different outputs and authorization levels.

Evidence note | The comparison objects in the table below come from the O*NET occupational classification and public materials, and are used to help distinguish the work content of adjacent occupations and choose a fit; they do not constitute qualification, hiring, or pay conclusions, nor safety, occupational health, or legal advice. The wages and employment of each occupation must be checked according to its own occupational code and statistical scope and cannot be applied to one another.

Preface | The following comparison is presented in four columns: "career direction — core work and outputs — key differences — what it suits better". Masonry and tiling and stone and general construction positions often connect within the same project and process, but connection does not mean they are interchangeable; each position differs in subject matter, materials, qualifications, and responsibility boundaries and must be checked separately.

Used for general principles of governance and risk control; it is not a construction or special operations or safety or legal standard.

O*NET 47-3011.00 work context (tasks and environment and safety)

Used to explain this occupation's work and safety characteristics (exposure to dust and cement and chemical solutions and noise and hazardous equipment is common, mostly working outdoors in all kinds of weather and at heights, relatively serious consequences of error, relatively high responsibility for others' health and safety, and constraints from processes and schedules).

Difference preface | Below, adjacent positions are compared by "what AI and automation mainly change / what people remain responsible for". The conclusion is consistent: what equipment and systems can enhance is task sheets and usage and materials and progress and knowledge retrieval; on-site ratios and cutting and handling and positioning and height and edge and safety responsibility always rest with personnel holding the corresponding experience and authorization. Technical feasibility, whether an enterprise adopts it (which depends on scaffolding and special operations and building construction safety requirements), and job outcomes must be judged separately.

Task sheets and material ledgers and usage readings and progress drafts can be handled by equipment and systems

On-site ratios and cutting and material supply and positioning and safety and process responsibility

Multi-location and material and usage and progress data aggregation and statistics can be accelerated by tools

Structural or design changes and acceptance and external disclosure decisions

Drawing and specification and process knowledge retrieval and drafts can be generated by tools

Content evidence and safety and quality review and structural change responsibility

Evidence preface | Citation rules: cite only sources that can support the claims on this page; indicate the jurisdiction, period, statistical scope, and whether it is the 47-3011.00 own scope; general research focused on broad occupational groups must not be used to infer changes to individual positions in this occupation; a technology list does not mean adoption; a mention of material and progress tools does not mean a transfer of responsibility.

BLS projection; no disappearance year inferred

Priority should be given to mastering materials and ratios and mixing, cutting and dimensions and layout, handling and positioning and material supply, grouting and cleaning and curing, scaffolding and edges and openings and working at height and machinery and dust and chemical solution safe operations, and the ability to adhere to procedures and evidence and records and anomaly reporting under process and schedule pressure; digital tools only need to be usable.

O*NET tasks; editorial learning suggestion

Responsibility preface | Efficiency can be outsourced to equipment and systems, but on-site ratios and cutting and material supply and positioning judgments and safety and process responsibility cannot. The following five steps are the human responsibility points that must be preserved before and after adopting any digital tool or automated data and report generation.

Task and boundaries: the project location and materials and safety boundaries must be determined by the mentor and personnel holding the corresponding experience and authorization, and equipment and systems do not replace on-site and process judgment.

Data and methods: usage and ratio and material and progress data and their sources and calibration must be checked and reviewed by the person, and insufficient or deviating data must be clearly stated, and gaps must not be concealed by system output.

Conclusions and determinations: ratio and cutting and material supply and cleaning and curing conclusions must be made by the person according to drawings and processes and current acceptance standards, and system output must not be used directly as a basis for release or rework or external publication.

Safety and compliance: scaffolding and edges and openings and working at height and machinery and cutting and dust and chemical solutions and work permits and personal protection must follow building construction safety and occupational health requirements and be carried out according to policy, and controlled materials must be managed under confidentiality and retention period requirements.

Changes and disclosure: materials and ratios and layout and process information disclosure and structural or design changes must be carried out within the scope of authorization and policy, and when a collapse or fall or machinery or exceeding-authorization anomaly is found, operations must be paused and isolated and reported according to policy.

Using system-generated ratio or material layout or dimension suggestions directly for construction or release

Ratio and safety and quality responsibility must be verified and documented by the person according to drawings and processes

Project and supplier drawings and technical materials being mistakenly sent or flowing into unauthorized channels

Limit the purpose and retention period and access rights, and do not upload controlled materials to external services or unauthorized environments

Missing model, tool, template, and parameter versions making suggestions non-reproducible and non-traceable.

Keep tool versions, inputs and outputs, and manual review, and check version changes against actual tasks; output must not be used directly for release.

Material identifiers, quantities, dimensions, units, or original reading errors causing work and quality misjudgment.

Check the original records, units, batches, and on-site measurements, stop and review when anomalies occur, and do not generate false data.

Vague attribution of responsibility: unclear who sets the ratios, who determines conformity, and who approves changes and disclosure

Before adopting a system, clarify the operations and application and approval path and responsible persons and keep records

Ratio and mixing and consistency judgment are the person's responsibility (human control point)

Materials and ratios

Ratio data can be assisted, judgment is the person's responsibility

Mixing mortar and plaster and grout by hand or with a machine according to standard ratios

Cutting and dimensions and layout are the person's responsibility according to processes (human control point)

Cutting and preparation

Layout calculation can be assisted, cutting judgment is the person's responsibility

Cutting materials to the size needed for installation using power saws or tile cutters

Positioning and supplying materials and grouting and removal are the person's responsibility (human control point)

Coordination and material supply

Material lists can be assisted, material supply judgment is the person's responsibility

Locating and supplying materials to masonry workers according to drawings or numbered sequences

Handling and positioning and lifting coordination are the person's responsibility according to procedures (human control point)

Handling and positioning

Scheduling can be assisted, positioning judgment is the person's responsibility

Moving materials and tools to the installation site by hand or with handling equipment

Cleaning and sealing and repair are the person's responsibility according to processes (human control point)

Cleaning and finishing

Records can be assisted, cleaning judgment is the person's responsibility

Cleaning installation surfaces and equipment and tools and work areas with water and chemical solutions and polishing machines

Scaffolding erection and dismantling and height and edge and opening safety are the person's responsibility according to qualifications (human control point)

Scaffolding and site safety

Inspection records can be assisted, safety judgment is the person's responsibility

Erecting scaffolding or other installation structures and working according to safety requirements

Anomaly identification and isolation and reporting and rework requests are completed by the person according to authorization (human control point)

Anomaly handling

Anomaly records can be assisted, determination and disposition responsibility is the person's responsibility

Identifying collapse or fall or machinery or chemical solution anomalies and isolating and reporting them

Editorial suggestion | Trial material retrieval and record assistance in an authorized environment and check the real effect; output does not replace original readings, on-site work, or safety and quality responsibility, and there is no measured efficiency evidence for this occupation.

Materials and ratios and cutting and coordination and cleaning ability

All positions

Positions usually require the ability to mix and cut and supply materials and grout and clean according to standard ratios, and to comply with scaffolding and edge and opening and working at height and machinery and dust and chemical solution safety requirements

Scaffolding and lifting and machinery operation and working-at-height qualifications

Positions involving the corresponding operations

Effective 2026-06-01, actual building construction special operations trades in building and municipal engineering receive training and assessment and certification as required; not all helper or height activities require all qualifications; apprenticeship is not listed as universally required or common.

Occupational health and labor protection requirements

Positions involving dust and noise and outdoor work and heights

Those exposed to occupational disease hazards are examined and protected as required; position adjustment depends on the actual hazards and results, and rotation is not a fixed requirement for everyone.

Construction (Construction)

O*NET shows on the 47-3011.00 page that this occupation's main industry in the United States is construction; the National Bureau of Statistics publishes average wages of urban unit employees by industry category, and the construction category scope covers multiple occupations and cannot replace this occupation's wages.

Specialty trade contractors (reference)

Some masonry and tiling and decoration positions serve specialty trade contracting and decoration enterprises; this scope is an industry average, is not equal to this occupation's wages, and is not filled in on this page.

Job title mapping | Helpers--Brickmasons, Blockmasons, Stonemasons, and Tile and Marble Setters (O*NET/SOC 47-3011.00 Helpers--Brickmasons, Blockmasons, Stonemasons, and Tile and Marble Setters; commonly called in recruitment and in the industry masonry worker, plasterer, tiler, decoration worker, brick and stone and tile laying assistant).

Mainland China section | In mainland China there are positions in the masonry and tiling and decoration field similar to Helpers--Brickmasons, Blockmasons, Stonemasons, and Tile and Marble Setters, and their work and scaffolding and edges and openings and working at height and machinery and dust and chemical solutions and safety and occupational health and records are governed by the Work Safety Law of the People's Republic of China and related regulations and standards on building construction safety and occupational health and environmental protection; however, public occupational statistics do not list a national wage distribution separately for this occupation.

Matching rationale | Masonry and tiling construction assistant positions match the construction industry; the category covers multiple construction occupations and levels and is not used as this occupation's wage; the broad reference is the 2025 annual average wage of 92,036/66,275 yuan for urban non-private/private units in construction. The statistics cover multiple occupations and levels in that industry and cannot be filled in for this occupation's median, starting wage, or personal income. This round has not obtained a precise national wage distribution for this occupation, and the gap is retained.

Pay structure note | Income for positions in this occupation is usually related to region and project and cost of living, overtime and rush work and high temperature and height allowances, whether the person holds scaffolding and lifting and machinery operation and working-at-height qualifications, and whether the person takes on tiling and stone and team-leading duties; similar positions vary considerably across regions and projects (the U.S. distribution on that page spans an annual wage of 36,230 to 70,080 from the 10th percentile to the 90th percentile).

2025 construction industry / urban non-private units (industry reference)

Average annual wage 92,036 yuan/year; the average for all employed persons in the industry, not this occupation's wage.

Average annual wage 66,275 yuan/year; the average for all employed persons in the industry, not this occupation's wage.

Mainland China precise national occupational wage for this occupation

Insufficient evidence: public occupational statistics in mainland China have not established a national occupational wage distribution precisely corresponding to O*NET 47-3011.00 (Helpers--Brickmasons, Blockmasons, Stonemasons, and Tile and Marble Setters); the National Bureau of Statistics publishes average wages of urban unit employees by industry category without distinguishing occupations, and this page does not fill in the gap with industry averages, recruitment offers, or U.S. data.

Classification mapping note | This page is the exact occupation O*NET 47-3011.00 (Helpers--Brickmasons, Blockmasons, Stonemasons, and Tile and Marble Setters), which differs from adjacent occupations such as brickmasons and blockmasons (47-2021.00), stonemasons (47-2022.00), tile and stone setters (47-2044.00), construction laborers (47-2061.00), and refractory materials repairers, except brickmasons (49-9044.00); wages and employment must be checked according to each occupation's own code and statistical scope and cannot be applied to one another.

Process complexity and demand differ noticeably across projects (building construction and municipal and decoration and industrial furnaces and kilns and roads and bridges) and trades (masonry and tiling and stone), affecting income and stability.

Project type and trade

Whether the person masters ratios and cutting and tiling and stone and scaffolding and multi-trade coordination abilities, and whether the person holds the related qualifications, noticeably affects income.

Region and skills and qualifications

Positions that take on tiling and stone and cutting and material supply and team-leading and site management duties have duties and pay structures different from positions focused on basic handling and cleaning.

OOH May2025 construction laborers and helpers occupational group industry wage median, not the precise 47-3011; precise industry wages have not been obtained, and China is not extrapolated.

Distribution reading: the median is the midpoint of the distribution and is not equal to the starting point; for this occupation, the annual wage from the 10th percentile to the 90th percentile spans about from $36,230 to $70,080, with differences mainly from region and project and trade and skills and qualifications and duties.

Scope reading: OEWS reports wages reported by employers, including production incentive bonuses and excluding benefits, overtime, and non-production bonuses; the values on this page are presented by O*NET on the 47-3011.00 page and that page does not mark them as taken from a parent or adjacent occupation, so they are presented according to this occupation's own scope, and individual income in adjacent occupations must not be inferred from them.

Wages are May2025 OEWS as presented by O*NET on the precise national page; the employment projection is the BLS2025—2035 precise matrix, which includes self-employment and differs in coverage from employee wages.

Usage suggestion: read the three sets of figures — median, percentiles, and employment — together with "this occupation's own scope, not representing adjacent occupations" and "2025—2035 growth of Decline (2025—2035 precise -11.7%), with openings consisting mainly of replacement needs", to avoid treating the median as a starting wage or the projection as an individual outcome.

The current O*NET interest scores are Realistic 100, Conventional 39, Social 15, Artistic 10, Investigative 6, Enterprising 0, and the old RC code is not treated as a current score or ability threshold. Interests are for exploration and do not constitute a fit prediction.

Evidence level | Moderate: the interest code comes from O*NET results on practitioners of this occupation and occupational analysis, but individual scores and occupational codes are not in a one-to-one relationship.

If you find it hard to work amid dust and noise and chemical solutions and outdoor weather and elevated conditions, find it hard to accept a rhythm that changes with project processes and schedules and weather and possible overtime, or are unwilling to take responsibility for work safety and process quality and site order, a high interest questionnaire score cannot change this real cost; for this occupation you must also confirm the enterprise's requirements for scaffolding and lifting and machinery operation and working at height and occupational health.

Editorial suggestion to observe safety procedures, material checking, and handover; Big Five traits cannot be used to infer greater ease of adapting.

No validation research on this occupation's assessments for fit, performance, or learning outcomes has been obtained; the following are editorial exploration suggestions.

Do not use a personality assessment saying you are unsuited as a basis for giving up or not entering the field; use on-site job shadowing or internships or simulated ratio and cutting and tiling tasks and mentor evaluations and assessment results instead.

The current O*NET interest scores are Realistic 100, Conventional 39, Social 15, Artistic 10, Investigative 6, Enterprising 0, and the old RC code is not treated as a current score or ability threshold.

MBTI | Typology is used for self-reflection on communication and work preferences; this occupation requires coordination with mentors and crews and suppliers, and preference does not determine competence.

Interest experience: liking to coordinate a full round of ratios and cutting and material supply and grouting and cleaning well, and gaining satisfaction from good site order with materials and dimensions and safety and records all in place.

Evidence level | Lower: MBTI is not an occupational qualification or ability assessment tool and cannot be used as a basis for employment.

Realistic 100 / Conventional 39 (current interest scores)

Realistic is the main score

Treat the type only as a reference for communication style, and do not use it to infer whether you or others can do ratio and cutting and tiling coordination work well.

Enneagram | Used to observe how you react in situations of tight processes and schedules and on-site anomalies; when a collapse or fall or machinery or chemical solution issue arises or authorization is exceeded, whether you can first check and handle it according to evidence and policy matters more than the type label.

No validation research on this occupation's assessments for fit, performance, or learning outcomes has been obtained; the following are editorial exploration suggestions.

Do not use type labels to explain quality or safety disputes; return to whether the drawing basis and the work process and records were adequate.

Editorial suggestion to observe drawing reading and dimension and data checking; there is no evidence comparing the predictive validity of IQ and practical ability.

No validation research on this occupation's assessments for fit, performance, or learning outcomes has been obtained; the following are editorial exploration suggestions.

A high or low score cannot show whether you can learn ratio and cutting and tiling coordination; test this through on-site job shadowing or internships or simulated tasks and mentor evaluations.

Editorial suggestion to observe communication under schedule pressure, anomaly explanation, and review; quality or safety cannot be inferred from EQ scores.

No validation research on this occupation's assessments for fit, performance, or learning outcomes has been obtained; the following are editorial exploration suggestions.

Emotional abilities can be improved through actual work and mentoring and deliberate practice, and there is no need to limit yourself with assessment scores.

Boundaries | The assessments and direction comparisons on this page are only for self-questioning and exploration and do not constitute hiring criteria, ability scores, or qualification judgments; admission is governed by education and training and safety and occupational health and qualifications and enterprise authorization. In particular, in the United States this occupation is Job Zone 1-2 (little or no preparation needed to some preparation needed) (below 6.0 (SVP Below 6.0)), with growth labeled Decline (2025—2035 precise -11.7%); matters involving scaffolding and lifting and machinery operation and working at height must also meet the corresponding qualification and work permit requirements.

Assessments cannot replace qualifications, skills, or job authorization. Ratios, dimensions, usage checks, and anomaly reporting can be observed in safe mentoring or simulated materials. These are editorial observation suggestions, and there is no validity evidence more reliable than questionnaires.

Which MBTI type is most suitable for this occupation? No type has been proven most suitable. MBTI is not an occupational qualification or ability assessment tool, and occupational adaptation mainly depends on skills and qualifications and safety and procedural compliance.

The current O*NET interest scores are Realistic 100, Conventional 39, Social 15, Artistic 10, Investigative 6, Enterprising 0, and the old RC code is not treated as a current score or ability threshold. Interests are for exploration and do not constitute a fit prediction.

These are editorial observation suggestions, without comparing the predictive validity of personality and skills.

Can someone who is not good at math do this occupation? Basic ratio and dimension and measurement and calculation and reading ability is needed; a quantitative foundation can be filled in through training and tool assistance, but being completely unable to adapt to measuring tools and ratios and dimensions would be markedly limiting.

Does this occupation require high emotional intelligence? Emotional stability and communication and conflict handling ability are needed, but no specific assessment score is required. Process and schedule and rework pressure require self-regulation and reporting according to procedures.

Can the Enneagram be used to judge whether I am suited? No. The Enneagram is a self-exploration tool and does not constitute an occupational ability or fit conclusion; judging fit should look at whether you can complete ratio and cutting and material supply and cleaning and record work under safety and procedural requirements.

Ratios, dimensions, usage checks, and anomaly reporting can be observed in safe mentoring or simulated materials. These are editorial exploration suggestions, and there is no evidence that these materials predict fit better than a questionnaire.

Fit signals: willing to be responsible for work safety and process quality under scaffolding and edge and opening and working at height and machinery and dust and chemical solution requirements, able to switch between ratios and cutting and material supply and handling and cleaning while keeping attention on evidence and records, able to maintain procedures and evidence and review under process and schedule pressure, and to isolate and report according to policy when there is an on-site or safety anomaly or authorization is exceeded.

Caution signals: finding it hard to work amid dust and noise and chemical solutions and outdoor elevated conditions, or finding it hard to accept overtime and a rhythm that changes with project processes and schedules and weather, or being unwilling to take responsibility for work safety and process quality and site order, or unwilling to report and hand over according to policy when authorization is exceeded.

Verification suggestion: first test reading drawings and ratios and cutting and writing records with one simulated or real coordination task, and understand the target enterprise's and jurisdiction's requirements for safety and occupational health and scaffolding and lifting and machinery operation and working-at-height qualifications, before deciding whether to invest long term.

Boundaries | What this page lists are the failure types and control points relatively common in this occupation's ratios and cutting and material supply and handling and cleaning, used to help identify and manage risks, and they do not constitute any safety, occupational health, or legal advice or a conclusion on an individual case; anything involving scaffolding acceptance, structural safety determinations, or occupational disease diagnosis must be handled by a position or organization holding the corresponding qualifications.

Direct answer | The core risk of this occupation is not "can the materials be mixed and cut well", but four types of failure with heavier consequences: safety and personal failure (dust and cement and chemical solution exposure, heights and scaffolding and falls, lifting and handling and material stacking, cutting and hand tool injuries); quality and rework failure (inadequate ratios or dimensions or material supply or grouting leading to process rework and a second loss); finished product failure (improper cleaning or curing or protection causing damage to finishes and masonry); and record and traceability failure (distorted material and usage data making responsibility impossible to define).

O*NET precise tasks and context and the BLS occupational group environment support risk clues; the six cards are editorial scenarios and are not per-card accident rates or statutory qualification determinations. Effective 2026-06-01, actual building construction special operations trades in building and municipal engineering receive training and assessment and certification as required; not all helper or height activities require all qualifications.

The person and the work team; safety and occupational health management personnel; occupational health and working environment

Dust and cement and chemical solution exposure causing inhalation or skin and eye injury; inadequate ventilation and dust removal and personal protection or failure to work according to substance safety requirements

Work according to ventilation and dust removal and personal protection and substance safety requirements and use suitable protective equipment; stop immediately and review and report when a dust or chemical anomaly is found

Scenario | When rushing the schedule, being asked to mix and cut first without adequate dust removal and protection, with the paperwork to be completed later.

The person and erection and safety personnel; personal safety; scaffolding and working-at-height boundaries

Inadequate scaffolding or edge or opening protection causing a fall or struck-by injury; failing to work according to erection and acceptance and protection requirements or failing to install protection

Work according to scaffolding erection and acceptance and edge and opening protection requirements and check the securement; if a scaffold or protection anomaly is found, stop work immediately and isolate and report

Scenario | When short-staffed, being asked to have untrained personnel temporarily take over scaffolding erection and dismantling or working at height.

The person and lifting and handling personnel; personal safety and material stacking boundaries

Improper lifting or handling or stacking causing material overturning or falling and crushing; rigging or stacking or support defects or improper direction

Work according to lifting and handling and stacking procedures and check rigging and load and securement; if a lifting or load anomaly is found, evacuate immediately and isolate and report

Scenario | Material stacking points or lifting access conditions being ignored, and being asked to finish supplying materials first and deal with load and securement problems later.

The person and safety and equipment management personnel; personal safety and machinery and cutting boundaries

Misuse of power saws or cutters or hand-held power tools causing cuts or entanglement injuries; failing to work according to machinery and cutting safety and protection requirements or failing to de-energize

Cutting and machinery work must be carried out according to protection and de-energization and isolation requirements; if a machinery or cutting anomaly is found, stop immediately and isolate and report

Scenario | Protection and de-energization formalities for cutting or machinery work are not yet complete, and the person is asked to cut first and complete the formalities later.

The person and mentors and quality control; process quality; coordination and rework boundaries

Inadequate ratios or cutting dimensions or material supply sequence or grouting leading to process rework or material waste; failing to follow drawings and ratios and layout and process requirements

Complete ratios and cutting and material supply and grouting according to drawings and ratios and layout and processes; when nonconformity or rework is found, isolate immediately and report and cooperate with rework

Scenario | Ratios or dimensions being marginally nonconforming, and under process pressure being asked to supply first and adjust later.

The person and mentors and site management; work quality and responsibility definition; qualification and disclosure boundaries

Missing or distorted task sheet and ratio and usage and cleaning and curing records making traceability impossible and responsibility undefinable; issuing scaffolding acceptance or structural safety conclusions beyond scope, or back-filling forged records afterwards

Record truthfully according to policy and retain original records and the revision trail; strictly prohibit generating unverified content or issuing acceptance or safety conclusions beyond scope

Scenario | Finding that a location's material and usage do not match the actual records, and being asked to issue a quality conclusion based on the existing records first and revise later.

Qualification boundaries, first | Application conditions, education, training certificates, safety and skills training, scaffolding and lifting and machinery operation and working-at-height qualifications, occupational health examinations, position and work authorization, and scaffolding acceptance and structural safety determination are different statuses: meeting recruitment conditions is not the same as obtaining the authority to independently lead a team or accept scaffolding or issue quality conclusions. In the United States, this occupation is Job Zone 1-2 (little or no preparation needed to some preparation needed) (below 6.0 (SVP Below 6.0)), with growth labeled Decline (-1% or lower).

The typical U.S. BLS precise 47-3011 requires no formal educational credential, no relevant experience, and short-term on-the-job training; the O*NET new-hire education of 58% high school / 24% below high school / 12% post-secondary certificate is a different measure, and the remaining 6% is not guessed; in China, actual building construction special operations in building and municipal engineering are certified for the corresponding trades per MOHURD Order 60. For first-time certification, no less than 6 months of internship before formal work, under the guidance of personnel with 6 or more years in the corresponding trade, and interns must not work independently; this does not apply to all helpers.

Qualification boundaries, third | The preparation items listed on this page are not equal to authorization and do not automatically bring scaffolding acceptance, structural change, or external disclosure authority; real authority is governed by the requirements of the enterprise and the competent authority.

Building construction special operations qualifications are valid for 3 years per MOHURD Order 60, with extension review; other certificate types and permits are checked separately, and the old 2008 provisions are not applied.

Recruitment sample note | This page does not cite the number or pay figures of any specific recruitment notice. Helper bricklayer, blockmason, stonemason, and tile and marble setter positions are mostly recruited through building construction and municipal and decoration and specialty contracting enterprises and labor and human resources channels, and are affected by region and project and trade and project cycles, so samples from public channels can hardly represent the overall market; recruitment requirements and authorization must be based on written recruitment information and the employment contract and job description and construction and safety system documents.

This page only lists check points and does not constitute a hiring or pay commitment.

Boundaries | The preparation paths and capability ladder on this page are used to help you plan learning and accumulate evidence, and do not constitute hiring, promotion, or qualification determinations. Real admission is governed by safety and skills training and qualifications and enterprise authorization and assessment, and also does not mean obtaining the authority to independently lead a team or accept scaffolding or determine structural safety.

Under mentoring, take on material and tool preparation and ratio assistance and handling and cleaning and record assistance; do not independently lead a team or erect and dismantle scaffolding or issue quality conclusions.

Mainland China

2025

Mainland China has similar positions in the masonry and tiling and decoration field and their work and specifications are defined by building construction safety and special operations and occupational health and environmental protection systems, but public statistics do not list a national wage distribution separately for this occupation, and it cannot be inferred from industry averages or recruitment offers.

The legal environment and management systems and statistical scope are different, and no combination or conversion is made; the China section of this page only registers the statistical scope and the visible gaps.

Occupational wages and employment (statistical scope and gaps)

National Bureau of Statistics average wages of urban unit employees (industry category scope) and bounded search

Insufficient evidence: public occupational statistics in mainland China have not established a national occupational wage distribution precisely corresponding to O*NET 47-3011.00 (Helpers--Brickmasons, Blockmasons, Stonemasons, and Tile and Marble Setters); the National Bureau of Statistics publishes average wages of urban unit employees by industry category without distinguishing occupations, and this page does not fill in the gap with industry averages, recruitment offers, or U.S. data.
