How this job compares in Tolleson, AZ

Pay in context

At roughly $36/hr, this posting sits about 30% above the $28/hr median for welding jobs across Arizona — toward the top of a $24–$35/hr middle band drawn from 159 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 77% 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.
