Cat -
Don't know about construction workers, but have a friend back in New York who runs a small day-care. Never saw her place without runny noses and/or bottoms. And she has always been 100% healthy.
Her pediatrician said it was because she is constantly exposed to every bacterium/virus in existence from their very inceptions and she could build up an immunity before they became virulent. Guess moms fall into this category.
Of course, any other person who set foot into her domain - for no matter how short a time - got whatever was going around at the time!
