Is this ad a bit too insensitive?

Monster, the online job hunting website, is launching a string of new ads about people who are in the wrong job field.

One of the ads features a man clinging to steel beams. It looks like if he lets go, he will plummet to his death, and he knows it. However, when the camera backs out a bit, you see he’s only a few feet off the ground.

That ad would be more funny, to me and possibly to others, if right now people had the opportunity to change where they wanted to work or the field they wanted to work in. Construction is one of the fields that is hemorrhaging jobs right now too.
