[Dennis Alwon]

Chris you would be worth more if you'd learn how to use that shovel you keep passing off to Al.

NC is at the bottom.... We are cheap, lazyand not very skilled. We hire guys from Fla. to do our digging.

I'm in the top 25% of my state.

In less than 20 words, you have reminded me of my great Life choice!

Have a nice Weekend!

I wonder how they compile these rates? I have never filled out any reports that would show hourly wages for my employees.

Big Brother and the IRA, they got your number...

Since I'm doing average by N. Carolina standards, maybe I should think of commuting :grin:

 

[LarryFine]

The states aren't even in alphabetic order. Sheesh!

The labor department keeps all these records and they keep them for year and years. If you have ever had a job anywhere that taxes were taken out then Uncle Sam knows about it and it's on file.

I looked at my file back around 1990 and they had jobs on there that I had forgotten about. Big Brother is Watching......:wink:

FWIW, I did all the digging today while Al was drilling and tapping boxes on poles.:smile:

[Sparky555]

in the 2nd lowest paying state in the country.:mad

Chris, it's worse than that. The record is from 2006-2007 so you might not be in the top 10% now.

I don't think I've ever seen someone in the field who made $30 per hour. At one company, the owner's son didn't use his tools and made $33, but I don't think that should count...

I should have known Colorado would have a strangehold on the center of the list.

"I'm guessing Illinois has taken a nose-dive on this. About 75% of the electricians are laid off."

Is that a guess or an actual figure?

I can tell you that there are electricians in NY making less than the average and more than the maximum I see stated in the OP's post, even in these troubled times.

I dont get paid enough.
