The wage for a union Carpenter in Seattle is in the $30 per hour neighborhood. Benefits are in addition, and they are valued at roughly $10 per hour. That's in Seattle. Somewhat less in other areas of the state.

Of course, if you use a contractor, the contractor pays these wages and you get to pay closer to $100 per hour. Capitalism, you know. It's a wonderful system.

Don't hesitate. Right now, there are carpenters watching TV at home but soon the construction industry will be in swing again and then you'll have to stand in line behind everyone else to get decent talent.
