how much does a plumber make
Another factor that should be considered is plumber pay. Plumber salaries are discussed above, but note that the median pay in 2010 for plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters was $47,000, which is $22.43 per hour (note: the average pay is slightly higher than the median). In comparison, electricians earned almost the same at $48,000 and carpenters earned $40,000.
