Abstract	The article examines the working situations of informal construction workers in Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha, employing a mixed-methods descriptive approach. It comprehensively investigates numerous aspects, including the construction process, labor supply chains, recruitment practices, skill development, working conditions, wage structures, job satisfaction, and socio-economic difficulties experienced by workers. The findings reveals a pronounced disparity: skilled workers experience better remuneration, higher job satisfaction, and higher satisfaction levels, while unskilled workers remain in trapped in precarious employment, exploitation, and heightened vulnerability. The study underscores the critical need for targeted policy interventions to enhance welfare provisions, strengthen labor rights, and promote the gradual formalization of employment in the urban construction sector.
