Introduction


The purpose of this presentation is to
illustrate the competitive wages of the

The following data is a product of
research done by the US Department of
Labor, and can be found on the MassCIS
website
Average Wages in US


Seen on the following slide is a graph of
the 25th percentile, median, and 75th
percentile of wages earned in various
fields across the United States
Across the US, welders, sheet metal
workers, machinists and NC machinists
make competitive wages with respect to
various other trades offered at WTHS
