How much does a plumbing apprentice make?

Answer 1

Traditionally, in California, an apprenticeship is for 5 years. The apprentice starts out at 50% of what the journeyman is paid. After each 6 month period of BOTH work experience and class room academic training (which is based on a set # of hours for each, and thus can take more than 6 months to complete) the apprentice receives a 5% raise in pay. Thus after seccessfully completing 10 , 6 month periods , and after passing a final test, the apprentice becomes a journeyman at full journeyman pay.

Answer 2

In Massachusetts, an apprentice plumber makes $34.64 per hour or $72,050 per year. Salary may vary depending on company.
