I heard an interesting take on this at our conference last month:
The reason the numbers are so low, for students enrolling in surveying classes; is because they can get an entry level position on a construction site and make $58.93 per hour. No formal education required...
County Trade Job Classification Wage Holiday Overtime Note King Surveyors Assistant Construction Site Surveyor $59.49 7A 3C 8P King Surveyors Chainman $58.93 7A 3C 8P King Surveyors Construction Site Surveyor $60.49 7A 3C 8P
Those numbers almost certainly include the value of benefits.?ÿ Even so, the actual hourly rate that goes to the employees wages is probably in the mid 30s per hour.?ÿ Pretty darn good for hub farmers.

Something is fishy there, the surveyor only makes 1.50 more than the chainman?
Yes, but the party chief gets the prestige.
I do not think the construction trades are stealing workforce from the Land Surveying talent pool in any real capacity, and certainly not from those who would otherwise enroll in a academic program to kick off their career.?ÿ
Most of the Union hands have never seen the free world of boundary and topographic mapping, in my experience.

I was in OE Local 3 in northern CA about 15 years ago and I recall that there wasn't a big margin between journeyman chainman and chief, but it was a little wider than the numbers posted here.?ÿ As I recall, there was about $5 per hr between chainman and chief with the I-man position (still had it on the books but almost no one used it) being halfway between.
I didn't know whether to be irritated or amused when I would be issued a chainman from the hall and find that the knucklehead wasn't smart enough, clean enough, nor diligent enough to hold a steady job mopping floors and cleaning bathrooms at a fast food joint, but was there getting paid to make my job more difficult at 3 times the rate of the fast food janitor.
But then, at least half of the chiefs I'd met in Local 3 back then were nothing more than halfway decent chainmen who learned how to access the right coordinate file on the DC for the job they were on, and which buttons to push to make the measuring gizmo tell them where to plant the next hub.?ÿ Few could understand plans better than to pick the elevations for the MH or CB they were staking.?ÿ A long way from the days when a chief would be handed a set of plans and was counted on as the last step of QC to ensure that the plans were right before taking them to the field, and having to do minor calcs on the fly, in one's head to keep the rodmen moving from one point to the next.
