I'm just courious what some of you might say would be the hourly pay rate range for a journeyman electrician (10+ years experience) and with certification for residential work in the San Fransisco bay area in California. Any input/feedback would be appreciated....

The ' SF Bay Area' is HUGE - and it has a variety of markets, and wide range of shops specializing in a few different markets of residential, mixed resi-commercial.... Where the shop is located/based - what market of clients they keep, and if they suppliment markets in commercial and or tel/data and AV can really spead the base of wages. While there are a very few union shops in the residential market that can be factor as well - if you are currently of that flavor.... Then there is YOU - your experiance, your knowledge of codes pretaining to certain cities, PG&E, supervisory experiance, PM experiance/independance to act on your own. With truck or without... That said - can range from $24 - $40 non-union. And only slightly higher than that union scale - depending on which hall if that flavor. (One of 5-6 that comprise 'the area'...)

What part of the bay and a little more about you would help...

And did anyone tell you the economy sucks right now???
 
I'm talking non-union romex roper. I don't know what your talking about? Mcdonald's pays $20 a hr.?? How do you compare the two:roll:

Why are you talking a non-union romex roper? the OP subject is for :"journeyman electrician (10+ years experience) and with certification for residential work"

His post isnt asking about wage for a noob.

We worked in San Francisco back in the year 2003. Hourly wage rate we had to pay was in the $44.00 to $45.00 per hour plus $10.00 to $12.00 per hour for their benefits.
So if a number in this area is figured you should be okay. We were working at the San Francisco airport.
