Reasonable Pay Rates For Journeyaman Carpenters

kylev

last time i heard in manitoba journeyman rate for commercial is $26.50 and for residential there is no rate. most people are paying $22.50. no matter what you make your always under paid for your responsibilities

straight line

Here in upstate Ny you would be getting in the 12-14 dollar range with no truck or power tools.The illegals won't work here for that reason.

Here in Ontario the wages have been the same for the past 15 years for framers helper $12.00 - $18.00 hr depending on experience .
The worst part is you have to bust your chops and put up with a lot of crap .

You can make more here cleaning rooms at a hospital for $ 20.00 hr

Here in Fort St. John, BC (7 hours north of Prince George) the going rate for journeymen is $26.00/hr. Benefits are on top of that. The cost of living is pretty high, though, so that may explain some of it.

How can anyone get by with those wages? Even some of the journeyman wages that people were quoting around $25/hr. That's ok if you're young and single; what if you've got a family? Guess it all depends on your region's cost of living.

Suck it up and go buy your truck, put your tools in it and call yourself a carpenter. Nothing says wannabe like a carpenter in Hyundai

Next payday, take your check, your new (don't buy a nice one, it's a TRUCK) work vehicle loaded with tools and go job shopping. If you get an offer call your boss and ask him to match the wage.
