Okay, let’s tackle this. So Tim has 4 years of experience as a framer/hanger, which is a trade skill. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median hourly wage for carpenters in the US is around $34. However, this is a broad category. Framer/hangers are a specialized subset of carpenters. In a region like Salt Lake City, where construction is active, Tim might be able to command a premium. Considering his experience and location, I’d estimate his hourly rate to be around $40, which is slightly above the national average for carpenters but still within the realm of possibility for a skilled framer/hanger.
