I’ve just moved to Utah and am looking for work. I just put my resume out today and already I’ve gotten a bite. I’ve been away from breaktime for quite a awhile. I think the last time I posted anything was at least a year ago. Anyway I digress… Does anyone know what the going rate for top notch carpenters/framers in this neck of the woods is?
