This breakdown does not include the additional $28.14 that we made every hour that went towards our benefits (pensions, health care savings, etc). This video is just the wages alone ⚡️
So would that be added to your income for the year? So making it 93 hourly
TLDR: 143k a year gross w/ benefits, 96k a year net.
Thanks for the info brother!
We need a video of " the day of electrician" like how hard is that job, what you are doing in the day, what's the average hours you spend for travelling, do you work under rains in OR because it's raining all the winter! And so on.
The deductions are almost as much as I made last year haha, I’m going into the trades this year I can’t wait, man thank you so much for being honest and giving so much of your personal info on RUclips I know a lot of ppl don’t like to do that bud we appreciate you bro!
That’s awesome to hear that you’re making the jump into the trades! You’re very welcome! It felt a bit uncomfortable posting this but as long as I’m protecting myself by keeping certain information private then I’m happy to share this stuff knowing it will be helpful to some people ⚡️
@@MadElectrician yeah man keep it up, we love to hear it, yeah your channel and other RUclipsrs inspired me to make the jump
@@brian1192 Absolutely! So stoked to hear that!
After 2 years of watching your videos I finally got accepted into my apprenticeship program! Didn’t get accepted the first time trying.
Keep on making these videos, ya never know who they’re gonna help!
Which local please?
@@abanoubmelad2919 L.U. 246
I’m in the same situation as you, didn’t get in first try but Im almost certain i’ll get in this time as i actually got a call from the hall after my interview 😼
These taxes are out of control
You’re telling me!
Thanks for the shout out 🙏🏼
May it bring you many views 🫡
Thanks for the transparency 👏
In Québec it's 43,89/hour for a total of 2000$/Week. After all deduction the NET is 964$/week. 😢😢
Go head drag bro u worked hard and earned it 😊
Really appreciate this video and all of them honestly. I just applied online a couple days ago!
That’s great to hear! I’m getting into the habit of consistent videos here on RUclips, so there will be many more to come!
Congrats on applying! Wishing you the best of luck on the whole process. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or anything ⚡️
@@MadElectrician yeah it’s been crazy watching your journey. I’ve been watching your channel for years lol since you were an apprentice. You’ve definitely come a long way! Keep it up! 👍🏼
Your local is so strong. Mines a fucking joke we have 20% market share in a major metropolitan city.
Where would I find the market share held by my local / other locals?
Yowza! That seems pretty low. I don’t know off the top of my head what our market share is here but I do know it’s considerably higher than that.
You can find out what your Local’s market share is by giving them a call. They should have a pretty good idea of what it is.
@@MadElectrician it hurts. We still have the highest wages in Canada (LU353) but our cost of living is crazy. I’ll put it this way:
We make on par with what New York makes:
We have $50.63 an hour and New York local 3 makes $60 or so.
Now it’s not a huge difference but our cities have very similar cost of Living to wage, however the American dollar stretches so much further.
A VETO tech pac costs about $400 CAD, but $300 USD.
So not only do we make a similar wage but things are cheaper in America. And your dollar is worth 30% more. It’s so crazy.
I wanted to ask you a question are you we you apply electrician apprenticeship program to some of them consider your
Age do they worry weather or not they can keep up with the work and the demand of the job
I always make less then my coworkers per year because i go back home in mex 2-3 times a year. Im happier that way
Life’s definitely about more than just making as much money as you can. I think you should always choose happiness over a bigger paycheck.
Nice
⚡️🤘🏼⚡️
I’m an 1st year apprentice about to be 2nd year in a month working non union with a company that is paying for my schooling should I go union eventually? I don’t understand the positives and negatives with that stuff as I always hear different things from people.
love to watch your videos and getting knowledge i really wanted to get into union apprentice program i have a question if you have certificate from the trade school do u think its gona help me to get into apprentice program
Hey, thanks! Happy to hear that!
I think anything that shows that you’re serious about wanting to become an electrician will go a long way towards helping you get accepted. That definitely sounds like something that would increase your chances. I’m assuming you completed that trade school since you got a certificate?
Thanks for watching! ⚡️🤘🏼⚡️
Thank u so much
Unfortunately I'm in Salem area and we don't have local access to your union
Yeah, I know Local 280 isn’t quite up to par with Local 48. What are your JW wages out there right now?
Do most IBEW electricians have weekends and holidays off?? Just asking cause I’m really interested in becoming an electrician but having weekends off would be great
Yes that’s why they pay so highly is to avoid working overtime and weekends but they will be some companies that will work overtime/ weekends but you are nicely compensated if you do
@@k20909 thanks, good to know
What state or area do you work in? Wondering the cost of living?
Do union electricians travel a lot? That's the only thing keeping me from applying...union folks in Boston travel out of state a bunch. I dont want to travel because i have a family to get home to!
Are you caped at 40 hours a week?
hello ibew 213 red seal here, been non union since 2016, recently been accepted by ibew, starting my job next week, I heard I have to be slow and just be act a bit lazier compare to non union so the team wont hate me and stab me from the back, is that true? 7 years in the non union, i was told to always hustle, but now as a union, my friend said i should never do that, otherwise they will call me a shop rocket or some shit, very confused...
Local 11 pay their Journeymen $61.80 an hour, got to love that CA pay rate.
That’s fantastic! Our journeyman here are up to $60.50 now in 2024.
Enjoy it. JW’s make $33 an hour here in Nashville. lol
@MadElectrician what state do you work in?
62 maintenance lol
I'm also journeyman for electrician, but unofficial.I have not diploma for electrician. Now in Moscow i earn about 750$ per month including deductions for patent (certificate for a migrants from Central Asia)
I applied to my local union as an apprentice like 5 months ago and still havent heard a word from them, any clue why?
I would call or email them to follow up. There could be a lot of reasons, but they’ll give you an idea of what’s going on if you ask.
@@MadElectrician thanks will do
@@GRINGRAB you applied for their apprenticeship? I would follow up asking if you met the requirements to qualify for an aptitude test.
I had the same thing happen to me, i applied in like august but i heard back in December so they could just be taking a long time
Please make a day in the life video
This is on my list of videos I want to make! I’m trying to figure out how to practically make that happen but it would probably be a lot easier than I’m thinking it will be. Thanks for the suggestion! ⚡️
does this include health care, pensions, etc etc.
No it does not! That was an additional $28.14/ hr that went towards all of those benefits. I’m not sure where I can get access to see how much that all came out to be at the end of the year. I’ll try to see if I can find that though!
@@MadElectrician that’s awesome, i’m going to be applying to my local soon, it’s very competitive in my area but your videos have been so much help!
Any recommendations to pass the aptitude test?
Yes sir! This is an old video of mine but the information and tips are still accurate:

I live in Texas amd I was hoping if you can tell me in the union is good I’m still deciding to join it I will be taking a pay cut if I do join I just want to know if it will be worth it if you can please help me out
I don't think that joining to the union in Right to work state will be better!
@@abanoubmelad2919 so your saying it not be better right to join.
So what your trying to say that it won’t be better to join
@@AnthonyRamirez-ns3sq
Yes, they have a small market share and you will get layoff too much!! And the average salaries are not so different like it's not a big deal. Better to join to union states like CA, WA, OR, IL
@@abanoubmelad2919 ohh I get you I just heard a lot about it so it was a thought but thanks for sharing your opinions on it
How could i find out how strong my local union is/the market share for that union?
That’s a good question! I’m sure if you reach out to your IBEW Local, they probably have that information. I’d just call and ask.
They don't make anything close to this in Pittsburgh.
What are the JW wages in Pittsburgh?
@@MadElectrician Low 40 range.
I am unable to listen to the audio at the moment, but where are these wages at? I assume not California or New York
Oregon 👍🏼
@@MadElectricianthanks, good to know
👷🏿♂️⚡️💡🪛🛠💪🏿🍪💯✊🏿🎯
⚡️🤘🏼⚡️🤘🏼⚡️
I'm with Local 20 DFW, ask me anything.
good money but unions are just not worth it in my opinion
You think you can make at least 125k a year in New York?!?!?
How often do you get laid off
I don't know how you get so much we get 35$ hour over here at the 490
Same at 275
Our cost of living is pretty high here in the Portland, Oregon area (I don’t live in Portland but I’m still in this jurisdiction). We’re also fortunate to have a strong union with a lot of market share.
