How much are apprentices paid?
New apprentices typically earn 50 percent of the journey worker wage and, if progress is satisfactory, they usually receive increases every 6 months. Most apprentice entry-level wages range from $8.00 to $10.00 per hour. Apprentices nearing the end of their training generally earn 90 to 95 percent of the journey worker wage, which typically ranges from $12.00 to $17.00 per hour.
