Todash,

First of all, a big warm WELCOME to the Grumble!

Hopefully you'll get some feedback on this, but keep in mind that what you're asking about is a very subjective topic that depends on many factors. (New York City vs Upstate NY vs Arizona rates, etc) The answer will likely be different for each of us. smile.gif

With that said, you may find this month's Grumble Survey of value.

Here is the link to check it out

Again welcome to the Grumble, and I hope others have some advice for you in this thread.

Here we'd pay about $14/hour and pray to the Framing Gods that they were worth it.

thank you Mike and Elllen for your reply and link.

i have ten years experience and in the sf area have made 14 hr tops. i still think i am worth more than that. i just hope the midwest doesnt gyp me when i move

imaluma, be prepared, you may get the pay you want, howerver, generally speaking the pay rates in the midwest and south are much lower than the east and west coast, as is the cost of living.
