According to the latest analysis by Payscale, a U.S. payroll software and data company, in 2023, under the general environment of economic recovery, Americans' incomes will grow rapidly, and some of the originally low-income industries will have a relatively high growth rate. Especially plumbers, whose median income is as high as $82,700.
Daily wage:
In Los Angeles, plumbers can earn up to $220 a day. This means that even if they only work a few hours a day, plumbers can earn considerable income.
Actual case:
There is an actual example showing that when a user asks a plumber to solve a problem, although the problem was solved in less than an hour, the user still has to pay more than $400. This further proves the high-income nature of the plumbing profession.
Influencing factors:
Although plumbing is a lucrative profession in Los Angeles, the specific income will be affected by many factors. For example, plumbers with higher work experience and skill levels tend to get higher salaries. In addition, market demand and competition in the work area will also affect salaries.
Tips
- If you enter a technical school to study plumbing, make sure the institution is accredited and provides graduates with a successful job placement program.
- A licensed junior plumber is allowed to install, repair, and maintain any plumbing system in the state where the license is issued. A junior plumber is not qualified to direct large commercial plumbing projects.
- Many apprentice plumbers choose to pursue qualification as a master plumber. If an apprentice has held a license for a specific period of time and has worked a certain number of hours (both determined by the licensing state board), he can apply for a master plumber license. Applicants must pass a state-approved exam before they can be certified as a master plumber. Master plumbers often excel in very specialized plumbing work, so they can be highly paid for their expertise. They can also supervise apprentices and trainee plumbers.
