Government wage data — what electricians are actually paid nationwide

National median — electricians$30.38/hr

National middle half (25th–75th percentile)$23.76–$40.36/hr

National annual (median, full-time equivalent)$63,190/yr

Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, 2025. These are wages actually paid across all employers nationwide — a different measurement from the advertised rates above, which is why the two numbers rarely match. Travel work with per diem and overtime typically sits above the national median.
