Weekly pay by trade for 1 counties in Michigan, from 2024 government payroll data.

Pick a county in Michigan to see what each trade pays there. Every figure comes from the payroll employers in that county report to the government, so a trade that pays well in one county can pay very differently an hour away.

It is the average of the entire payroll of that kind of business, split across everyone on it: the helper who started yesterday, the twenty-year veteran, and the person running the office. An experienced worker earns more than the average for their line; someone starting out, less.

Trades where the government hides the pay — because there are few employers and you could tell who we mean — are left out instead of shown as zero.
