At roughly $26/hr, this posting comes in about 26% below the $35/hr median for welding jobs across New Jersey, where the middle half runs $30–$40/hr across 143 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 8% of the comparable postings we have wage data for. That gap is worth raising directly — in a market this size there is normally room to negotiate toward the median, particularly if you already hold the certifications the posting asks for.
