We have been experiencing many layoffs in our state (Washington-Seattle). When I ask people about an electrical company that's hiring, and has good benefits and pay for apprentice, and Journeyman. I always get negative feed back. Example of feed back: The last company I worked for started me off at $16 per hour as a journeyman, and did not pay for benefits. Can anyone recommend a good company (non-union). That pays apprentice (with 1500-2500 hours),or journeyman (2 year card)well. I've seen $10 per/hr for appren with 1500 hours (too low), and journeyman (residential) at a pay of only $16.
Just a suggestion, a two year journeyman get 19.50 here in our local and a full journeyman makes $20.78 per hour with benefits and hospitolization, you know I dont know how you feel about unions, but they pay better than most non-union contractors, not all of course but only a suggestion.
