How this job compares in Abernathy, TX

Pay in context

At roughly $49/hr, this posting sits about 69% above the $29/hr median for welding jobs across Texas — toward the top of a $23–$38/hr middle band drawn from 416 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 91% of the comparable postings we have wage data for.

Worth establishing which before you accept.
