What the trades really get paid

Skilled trades are becoming the most valuable resource on complex jobs: the ones who get them built right and on time. Time & a Half has been created to keep that standard, by the trades, for the trades. Here's what crews say they make, next to what the companies post.

Crew ranges show once 5 people share a trade at an outfit. Until then, posted pay is all there is.

How the numbers work

Never one person's pay. A range shows once 5 people share a trade at an outfit: the middle half of what they reported, rounded to $2. Counts are shown as 5+, 10+, 25+.
Vouched per job. “Most vouched” means most of those reports are for a job a coworker who was there confirmed.
Checked when it's new. A range with no vouched reports behind it waits for a moderator the first time.
Posted pay is separate. It's what the company's own postings said in the last year, never mixed into what crews report.
No names, no handles, and nothing about anybody's union.
