Job Bank's national median is $33 an hour, about $69,000 a year at 40 hours a week, for installers and finishers together. The lower and upper ends are Job Bank's low and high wages for everyone in the group, $23 and $43.75 an hour. On residential piecework, pay depends on speed: a fast boarder or taper can beat the hourly rate, a slow one falls below it.
