About ElectricianSalary.com

ElectricianSalary.com is a pay reference for electricians: what the job pays by state and city, what IBEW locals pay under their agreements, and how pay moves from first-year apprentice to journeyman and master. It is written for electricians checking their own pay, people weighing union against non-union work, and anyone deciding whether to start an apprenticeship.

Who publishes it

The site is published by Digital Signet Limited, a UK company that runs independent cost and pay reference sites. Pages are written and maintained by Oliver Wakefield-Smith.

Independence

We are not affiliated with the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, the National Electrical Contractors Association, any IBEW local or any electrical contractor. We report the rates those bodies publish; none of them reviews or approves our pages.

How the figures are sourced

Each figure names its source on the page. The methodology page lists the source behind every IBEW local rate and explains which numbers are our own arithmetic.

READER QUESTIONS

Something the wage tables did not cover?

Ask. A person reads every message and we answer the ones we can, naming the scale or table the figure comes from. If the answer would help other electricians we may publish an anonymised version, and only with your say so. Wage data here is general reference, not career, legal or financial advice, and what you take home depends on your local, your contractor and your market.
