Electricians can earn anything between $25 and $35 per hour when they are fully licenced - more if you work for yourself, but then you need a contractors licence and liability insurance.

Re: the official jobs/wages thread...
Just applied for a post that has sponsorship in adelaide but in the application it asked me what salary I was to roughly expect with a drop down list so I compared it with a similar post over here in the UK and now I'm wondering if I have made the right choice. It is within the ShipBulding industry but I do not know if salaries are generally more or less than the UK. Can anyone shed any light on the subject?

It dpends really on where you came from, what company you worked for etc etc.
We found that my OH was on just a little bit less (comparitively speaking with the exchange rate), but are now pushing for a pay rise as we think he's being underpaid a bit. But then we thought that in the UK too
It's a bit hard to advise you what to ask for, cos I guess it depends on what your job will entail, how in demand your skill is and how much they are willing to offer you. Might be best if you put 'negotiable' instead of a rate.

Re: the official jobs/wages thread...
Hi,
Thanks for your comments. I've been in my current job for less than a year, so don't believe my current salary of £60k due to a long term position with annual increments.
I believe I work at a fairly senior level, directly supporting Board members including MD, Chief Exec etc on a day to day basis. Previous positions have been financial controller etc.
I'm just a bit shell shocked that senior positions can be paid so little in Australia. Maybe i'm just used to London salaries.
If we're indicating that I'd have to do similar jobs in Australia, with all the stress that goes with it, for $60k (approx £30k) thats a 50% salary cut, and something I'd not being willing to countenance, despite having permanent resident visas and a real desire to move to Australia.
Thanks again
Jim

I am one of the lucky ones that truly enjoy working and my profession, and have never been a clock watcher, so I got short changed even more! I am now in New York and I have noticed many times the UK and the US are very similar in salary structures.
As many of the posters state, it's a completely different lifestyle than the UK.

Re: the official jobs/wages thread...
What an eye opener! I am in management accounting too! I emmigrated to Australia in 1974 (stayed ten months) I realize that's 33 years ago, but one of the main reasons I left so soon after arriving is I wasn't prepared as a professional to work for such low salaries when I didn't have to. A working associate of mine when I announced my departure said "You will be back in one year" He had spent time in Australia and New Zealand.
