Description

Hoover Dam High Scaler Joe Kine, bronze statue by Steven Liguori. During the construction of Hoover Dam there were few jobs that equaled the high visibility of the high scaler. A man hanging hundreds of feet in the air on the side of a deep canyon, knocking away loose rock and setting dynamite charges with a jackhammer sparked romantic images of courage and daring. There were 112 deaths associated with the construction of the dam. The lowest wage for a Hoover Dam worker was 50 cents an hour. The highest, $1.25.
