Pay in context

At roughly $43/hr, this posting sits about 35% above the $32/hr median for structural welder jobs across Texas — toward the top of a $29–$45/hr middle band drawn from 13 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 62% 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.
