In 2011, nonresidential building construction provided almost a quarter of the 195,000 jobs for contractors, with average salaries at $45.41 per hour, or $94,450 per year. Building equipment contractors contained 14 percent of the positions at a mean $46.52 per hour, or $96,750 per year.
Burps can also be caused by drinking carbonated beverages, such as beer, soft drinks, energy drinks, and wine in which case the expelled gas is primarily carbon dioxide from the drink itself. Common diabetes drugs metformin and Byetta can cause burping, especially at higher doses. This often resolves in a few weeks.
DEAR READER: Occasional burping usually results when foods produce gas during the digestive process and that gas escapes through your mouth. But if youâre burping frequently, it is almost certainly the result of swallowing air. Many people swallow air when they breathe or speak without even realizing it. You can probably reduce your belching by making lifestyle changes to decrease the amount of air you swallow.
