FAQs on Salaries for Electrician Journeyman Jobs

Journeyman Electrician - Salary

A journeyman electrician carries a lot of responsibility on a job site. He or she is qualified to perform just about any sort of electrical work, barring those tasks reserved for master electricians. In addition to their skill at installation and maintenance of all manner of electrical components, journeyman electricians may also find themselves in a managerial position, teaching and supervising apprentice electricians. It's a position requiring years of work and training, much of which is difficult to get without first joining a union or trade organization. Once an electrician receives the rank of journeyman, however, the typical electrician salary is quite comfortable. Perhaps "electrician salary" isn't the best term, though - most journeyman electricians are still paid by the hour. When conducting your electrician salary research, it's a good idea to also research electrician hourly wages in order to compare and contrast.

Electrician Hourly Wages - Data

The Electrician Wages by Years Experience chart shows that a journeyman electrician who's been in the position for less than a year often makes between $12.00 and $18.00 an hour. Keep in mind, though, that these are journeyman electrician wages - that year or less of experience is coming on top of a three to five year apprenticeship. The kind of certification that is required of an electrician will vary from state to state. Researching Electrician Hourly Wages by Certification, we can see that, overall, general contractors tend to earn the highest electrician hourly wages. Electrician wages themselves also vary from state to state. Check out the Electrician Salary by State report to see how your state stacks up.
