Hey, everybody, it's Dusten Huebner here, from Electrician Information Resource and chances are you've landed on this video, because you're wondering how much do electricians make.

So, what I want to do for you in this video, is go over that with you. So, if you're interested then stay tuned. So, how much do electricians make? Well this is a wide-open question, it's an hourly, usually an hourly based job.

So, if you work minimal hours you're gonna get paid less, than someone that works many hours as an electrician. Another extreme would be the industry that you work in. So, let's do a comparison. A residential electrician that works in houses maybe 220 volts and under, compared to a high-voltage specialist electrician that works on 4160-volt equipment.

While the dangers are vastly different, so your wages are commissary to that. So, those are two big extremes. The reason you're seeing this page here, this is my electrician salary page and it goes into great detail on the different factors that affect your salary.

We can go over a couple here. Some factors that affect your electrician salary, experience, so when you first start off you're not gonna get paid as much as a journeyman. So, you start out get signed getting denture, start going through your apprenticeship pass all your schooling and as you do that your wages increase.

And then when you're a journeyman it's not like you're you got this set wage that you can make. Electricians have so many niches they can go into. It's not like you have to be a residential electrician in your entire life, if that's what you did through your apprenticeship. If you're a journeyman, I stress for you to find what interests you in the electrical field, as obviously you did the electrician trade, you're interested in being an electrician but maybe the work that you're doing throughout your apprenticeship you don't quite enjoy.

So, there's tons of opportunities out there. Like I've done oilfield work most of my life, most of my career and then I've done agriculture. That was completely different, I went from working with oilfield equipment maybe getting a little bit greasy from oil to working on saws that cut cows in half.

So, like all over the place so that, residential, working on hoses troubleshooting plugins or whatever simple stuff like that. Commercial work working in larger buildings within the city so all kinds of different industries to work in and that changes how much you make, straight up.

Like a residential worker isn't gonna get called and have to put in a 14-hour day, to make sure that all these this house is done. It could happen but it's gonna be rare but in the oil field you're working on equipment that makes a facility a thousand bucks an hour, well or a thousand bucks every minute, like these places are crazy.

So, those you're gonna get called out and if there's a problem you're gonna be there, until it's fixed. So, that's a case where you're gonna make a ton of overtime and well overtime pay is a big deal. So, the wages are all over the place. Location, if you work in a city you might see a more generic rate throughout the city, but if you start working remote locations like hey how about an oil drilling rig in the middle of the ocean? Compared to residential electrician in the city, well that's gonna be a vastly different wage and that's depending on your location.

If you're working in, I got in an example here Alaska, if you're working out in the cold, well you might get a little bit bump, a bump up and wage for doing not because you're not in a nice warm or impalas or something for example.

The industry that's we've gone over that but the extremes residential to an oilfield electrician in the middle of the ocean, completely different. Specialization, so that's where like hey go into a niche you could become a journeyman but there's like paths everywhere that you can do to change your - what you do or work as an electrician and make your wage different.

So, you can get your master's degree, you can run your own company, you can be a control specialist, you can be a high voltage specialist. These are just some examples that I'm throwing out there. Union - usually in the Union you get a much like a nice pretty nice wage, so compared to the private sector but it's you want to be in the union is the Union convenient for you or is it not?
Like the wage might be higher but if you've got a drive farther just to get to work, you're paying for that gas, when you could just work near your house and maybe make a little less money per hour.
