Los Angeles Area Salary?

I have found salary.com to be somewhat accurate in the past. It has the salary at $99k.

Seems low to me, especially considering the price of housing near LA.

My solution would be to drop the nagging wife 😀

If you want to work Union here is the PAY SCALE on page 83/96

If you don't want to work union you may want to leverage the pay scale.

When I search that site it is coming up with 65000 for the median. I was thinking it should be in the 90000-100000 range like you have shown. Still not sure it is worth it. The only nice thing is that the wife would make more there as a nurse.

Thanks for the info. I always forget that field crews are in unions in some places.

Then who would put up with me 😀

My oldest son will be relocating from Denver to the LA area the 20th. of this month. He accepted a management position with SpaceX in Hawthorne. He's going to making the big bucks, for sure....but from what I can tell the cost of living seems steep there.

He said he finally got sick of winter. I hope he likes palm trees.

Are you looking for a field or office position?

I would be looking for office. That always seems to be were the best advancement opportunities are at and the best use of my degree. I need to touch up my resume and then I will send it to you.

Call around. or start with the places advertising for surveyors.

I was a certifed party chief in the Local 12 out there and was making about $43/ hour. I would guess if you get licensed in CA you would be making somewhere around $50/hr. Non-union is probably around $40 I'm guessing

Thanks for the info.
