20 bucks an hour for a top carpenter.
14 bucks per hour for labor.
Thats the going rates here in eastern ky.
What about where you work?
Thanks

For a construction laborer here in eastern Nebraska I would say about 10/hr.
For a Carp. varies a lot but gonna start in the mid teens at least and get north of 20 pretty quick.....
Naive but refreshing !
Is that as an employee? If so it's pretty close to the average here, maybe a little high. Add in benefits and it's a little low.
Lead: $30ish.
Carps:$25ish
Labor: $12-$15 depending on experience and skill set.

that's in line with what I pay on the books for my help. if someone was foreman material I would go 25 / hr.
