Trade Skill
 

My bro asked me what trades (electrician, brick layer etc) get paid the most. Any ideas?

it sepends on who you work for,id say plumbers and electritions are around the top though :2 cents:

what are you talking about?

To my knowlage electricians get paid the most. They make around $31/hr, it goes down to boilermakers at 29/hr, pipefitters at 27/hr. All those numbers are journeyman wage. Numbers can vary of course from state to state.

Crane operators on the docks..40-60 bucks an hour,bricklayers about 30..I'm sure there is many more trades 90 % of the people here will never understand using their hands to make a living when porn wasn't around 20 years ago..it builds character actually doing casual labor

i work at a machine shop,my character is HUGE now :pimp

I'm a journeyman in the Metaltrades,petroleum division ..I'm about 35 plus 3 pension..

Cool, what kind of work do you do? Any welding? Pressure Vessels?

Aviation units and all pumps for the petroleum,mining industry ,commercial and retail end basically

Check out US Department of Labor for that info:

dunno..... making $$

It depends where you are. Wage rates vary for skilled manual labor. Here in the Philippines, I just had an electrician swap out all the old circuit breakers and test/adjust inline wiring (indoor) to my new office. Total bill: P4,500 ($90 USD roughly). If I had to get that kind of work done when I lived in California, you're talking roughly $1850 to $2500.
