Currently $35.27 an hour on your check for residential, and $40.77 for commercial.

Not sure where the wage amounts above come from. Depends where in Illinois, this side of St. Louis commercial is $34.63 & residential $27.86, $31 something east of St. Louis, not sure on residential

Answer 2

In May 2004, median hourly earnings of carpenters were $16.78. The middle 50 percent earned between $12.91 and $22.62. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $10.36, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $28.65. Median hourly earnings in the industries employing the largest numbers of carpenters in May 2004 were as follows:

Nonresidential building construction $18.70

Building finishing contractors 17.51

Residential building construction 16.48

Foundation, structure, and building exterior contractors 16.40

Employment services 13.94

Earnings can be reduced on occasion, because carpenters lose worktime in bad weather and during recessions when jobs are unavailable.

Some carpenters are members of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America.
