Hey everyone!
It’s Dusten Huebner here from Electrician Information Resource.
In today's video we are going over 8 different factors that affect an electrician salary.
An electrician salary can vary greatly depending on the type of work, experience, industry, and location.
An apprentice will generally start higher than minimum wage.
Statistically, the average salary is about $70,000. Since most electricians are paid hourly, this works out to about $31 per hour for a certified electrician
Some Factors That Affect An Electrician Salary Are:
Experience - As with any career, the more experience and seniority you have the better your electrician salary and the more you will be paid.
Location - Wages vary by state and country, depending on the cost of living in a particular region. For example, an electrician in Alaska is paid approximately $10,000 more per year than one working in Maine.
Industry - Some industries are more dangerous, and some require more technical knowledge or other expertise.
Specialization - Electricians specializing in new developments in electrical power generation, distribution and transmission are, in most cases, the highest-paid.
Unions - Union members often get paid more than non-unionized workers. About one third of all electricians belong to a union.
Overtime - Workers who do a lot of construction will typically work a set schedule each day, while maintenance electricians can get several hours of overtime each day which can drastically affect your weekly earnings.
Shift Work - The biggest earnings come from working away from home. Big construction projects in remote areas will typically use extended work shifts to reduce travel costs. Shifts can range from 10 on 4 off to 24 on 4 off, depending on the priority of the project. Shift work will also typically be longer than 8-hour days, which means overtime.
Self-employed - Working for yourself has many benefits, and many disadvantages as well. The biggest benefit is that your earnings are directly affected by how hard you work. The more contracts you can secure, the higher your salary will be.
