Here in Arizona, if you make $26 an hour, 40 hours a week, that’s $1,040 without any taxes being taken away. An ok apartment is around $1,600+ a month. With car insurance, food, rent or mortgage, utilities, gas, and other expenses. I’d consider anything $30 an hour poverty 😭. An “ok” house in my area is easily $400k and about 45+years old.

They go by hours. After so many hours worked, you get a $1.40 raise until you max. Im a foreman so my position maxes out about $60 an hour. We also get a decant amount for perdium so that helps.

I work for a small contracting company (consists of me and 4 other guys, 2 of which are my bosses) and I do something called “Ls6 audits” on cell tower sites. (Those towers with the blinking lights u see at night) we get work from Verizon directly. We get sent huge maps filled with hundreds of cell tower sites that need auditing. Basically, at these sites, I simply take a couple hundred pictures of the compounds and equipment within them, then measure out and draw the compounds to scale. I Then gather a little bit of visual info at each site and send it all to my boss man thru an app we use. I stay gone about 3 weeks out of every month and everyday that I’m gone, I work. 10 hours a day, everyday, til it’s time to come home for a week. I’d say the job is split roughly between 40% actually doing the audits, and 60% of the time it’s just driving to these sites. I get paid $30/hr, get $400 perdium every week, get bonuses pretty consistently, and even have my own truck and a company card I use for gas. 23 years old and I’m bringing in close to 7k a month at some points.

At&t pays their Telephone Lineman around 43-47 an hour in California. Depending on the area. The Electrical Lineman can make more than that. For example, S.C. Edison pays their Lineman around 35-70 an hour, depending if they are a groundman, apprentice, utility, journeyman or a foreman. The term Lineman was first used by the Telephone Lineman and then by the Electrical Lineman. Today the cable tv companies also have Lineman placing cable. A Lineman is basically a worker that can place a power or telecommunications line.

Utilities are no joke. Seriously dangerous stuff. I did a damage investigation where a contractor ripped through both a gas and electric service line at the same time... There were 30+ft flames gushing from the side of the building. Morale of the story, call before you dig guys. Calling for a locate and waiting for it can save a life, or a couple of lives. Ik this clip was of linemen working on aerial lines, but it surprises me how many people don't even know what utility locators are, or that you can even get your utilities located... If your contractor doesn't call in a locate to install your fence, your pool, whatever, get a new contractor. I've seen some utilities in dumb areas. There was a 60-100PSI high pressure gas main that just cut straight through a rural driveway. I don't even want to imagine what could've happened if they got some work done around there without a locate 😔

I work for an electrical utility in Texas. Helper with no experience start around $25 an hour, apprentices somewhere around $31 with a raise every six months after passing an exam showing mastery over the subject matter for that six months. After 3 years, or 6 six month periods you become a journeyman. They are around $48 an hour. This is all union, IBEW. Good pay and benefits for Texas.

No license, no special endorsement, no high school diploma. I make 40 a hour as a rough and finish plumber

When I was 13 I had a friend say I wont work for less than 15 bucks and hour back then I thought he was crazy.... now we charge ppl a minimum of 45 an hour to talk and then when the tools come out we take ppls savings. Thank you my guy for nailing in self worth at such a young age.

I went back to school 15 years ago and made 6 figure salary as a machinist engineering program's. Go to school.

But the sheer fact of the matter is that weekly hours aren’t accounted for a lot of the time when discussing wages. Sure you can be making awesome money as a young adult (anything above $14 an hour is actually good money you’re just brainwashed) but even then, if your hours are only 20-40 a week and you have serious bills to pay then thats simply not much money to work with. And i want to point out that this is not always by choice, i have personally been hired by 2 different companies which have stated i will be scheduled as a full time employee with 40+ hours weekly guaranteed. Come to find out you’ll be lucky if you even pull 30 a week and that’s being a good candidate busting your ass. Some companies simply cannot provide 100% of their employees with 40+ weekly hours. On the other hand once you pass the 40+ threshold of weekly hours (which you should be, this world isn’t designed to be full of 20 hour work weeks) then you are starting to see some decent money which you can actually survive on; independently. Here’s a simple equation for you - the average adult in the US needs to be making $3,000 per month in order to live decently // which is $36,000 per year. In order to make that much a person must be getting paid $20 an hour (around $17.50 after accounting for taxes) and be working 45 hours a week to meet the required threshold of $3,000 monthly. {17.50 x 45 = 787 // 787 x 4 = 3,148} A lot of you are truly brainwashed into thinking good wages, are in fact bad wages. You’re either living a lifestyle you simply cannot afford and that’s *your* fault, you’re not working 45 hours a week, or you’re simply not meeting the minimum of $20 hourly before taxes.

I’m 18 going on 19 here shortly, Currently doing traffic control setup. This consist of setting up signs x3 your hight and overall body weight along highway traffic. I have genuinely almost been hit by semi trucks and cars failing to yield or give room 4 times this week, unfortunately a fellow employee was struck and killed last Tuesday as a result. Not to mention if the sign falls the wrong way it could seriously be very very bad. Yes we drop them sometimes because of the weather and wind from vehicles but we manage, we safely guide the sign luckily and nothing has happened. Not all days are on the freeway luckily. Unfortunately this job is dangerous but I’m never going back to fast food.
