wage for employees

[Bradley D]

Curious of hourly wage other sign companies pay for: general fabricator, welder, painter, cnc operator, master sign electrician, and salesman. Maybe specify area as well for reference. I'm sure this will vary greatly just trying to get a general idea of how cost of labor varies by region.

Central VA, my range for each job you specified(some we don't have those positions) is $16-$20 an hour. If someone comes in with exceptional experience, I will go higher.

Our wonderful Dems doubled our minimum wage to $13.50 so their is major compression with existing employees but that is a whole separate issue.

a good starting point, is referencing prevailing wages in your state but saving on hourly by offering kickass benefits.

posting IL vs Texas for reference, which is BONKERS
i know WI is somewhere in between, but our union guys make closer to the aforementioned.
