Okay, let’s tackle this. So Dennis Gordon has experience as an Engineering Technician. The average salary for an Engineering Technician in the US is around $60,000 per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, this is a broad category. Considering Dennis is working in a specific company, Fluxtrol, and location, Holly, Michigan, I need to adjust for those factors. Companies like Fluxtrol often pay their employees more than the average, and Michigan is not the cheapest state to live in. I’ll use the average salary for an Engineering Technician in Michigan, which is around $65,000 per year. To calculate the hourly rate, I’ll divide that by 40 hours/week and 52 weeks/year. That gives us around $63 per hour. However, this is still a rough estimate. Considering the specific job title and industry, I’ll adjust the rate downward to around $45 per hour, which is a more realistic estimate for an entry-level or junior Engineering Technician.
