Pay in context

At roughly $60/hr, this posting sits about 131% above the $26/hr median for welding jobs across Wisconsin — toward the top of a $24–$28/hr middle band drawn from 91 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 100% 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.
