I live in a rural area outside of a small town in the southern USA. The local electrician, basically the guy almost everybody calls if they need basic residential electrical work, earns almost twice the high end of what that job listing is paying. Granted, he’s basically on call 7 days a week and I’m sure his job isn’t always unicorn farts and leprechaun rainbows, but he’s his own boss and works his own hours.
That’s a real posting from a large mfg.
In oregon an electrician makes $100k/yr, a controls electrician $160k, and an electrical engineer 200-300k.
