Median

Lower end
$40,000
Upper end
$64,000
Job Bank's national median is $24 an hour, about $50,000 a year at 40 hours a week. The lower and upper ends are Job Bank's low and high wages for everyone in the group, $19 and $31 an hour. Be honest with yourself: Job Bank's national medians are higher for electricians ($35 an hour), plumbers ($34) and crane operators ($42.77). Shop leads, CNC (computer-controlled cutting machine) programmers and owners of a successful custom shop are the ones near the top.
