At roughly $19/hr, this posting comes in about 37% below the $30/hr median for welding jobs across Arizona, where the middle half runs $25–$36/hr across 122 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 3% 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.

This posting calls for MIG. MIG (GMAW) feeds a continuous wire electrode through a shielding-gas nozzle. It lays down metal fast and is forgiving on clean material, which is why it dominates production and light fabrication work.
Pay figures are medians computed from live postings in the Welding Pros index, not from survey data, and they move as employers post. Welder and General Laborer Needed figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
