What plasterers make
Median
$57,660
Apprentice or new
$39,560
Union or specialist
$96,710
The national median is $57,660 a year, and the bottom tenth start near $39,560. The federal survey counts plasterers together with stucco masons, which is fair because most people do both. Union work in big cities and ornamental restoration sit at the top of the range. Rural residential work sits at the bottom.
