Prevailing wage for lead carpenter

| Posted in Business on

Interested to find a wage range for a 20 plus  year veteran lead carpenter in the Southern CT area.  Renovation and remodeling mostly.

    I'm in NY (Westchester) but do cross over into Fairfield County CT. The residential non-union wage range I typically see for what I think you are describing runs a ridiculously low $20 per hour with no benefits to $37-$38 per hour with benefits. That may be too wide a range to help you figure out anything but that's what's out there.

      Jerrald , why so big a split?
