I'm just courious what some of you might say would be the hourly pay rate range for a journeyman electrician 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???
