At roughly $38/hr, this posting sits about 63% above the $23/hr median for welding jobs across Michigan — toward the top of a $21–$29/hr middle band drawn from 81 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 93% of the comparable postings we have wage data for. Pay that far above local median usually comes attached to something: a harder cert requirement, travel, night shift, or overtime that isn't really optional. Worth establishing which before you accept.
