That median is a reasonable floor to anchor on when a recruiter asks what you're looking for.

The most active employers in Nevada at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Welding Shop in Las Vegas, NV (4), Komatsu (2), and CloudRay (2). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.
This posting calls for MIG and Stick work. 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. Stick (SMAW) burns a flux-coated consumable rod and needs no shielding gas, so it works in wind, rain, and on dirty or rusted steel. That tolerance for bad conditions keeps it the default for field, structural, and repair work.
