Please don't spread mis-information. Welders are not getting $67 an hour!The billing rate maybe greater than $67, but ther is a lot of overhead As an electrician, I get $28 an hour. I lived in Alaska for over 40 years, and am calling BS on the big dollars mentioned. There's just as much, or more opportunity, in America.

Sorry my man, that is what is being reported in the local (Anchorage) news and in the papers. The pay may be high as it is a project job replacing feeder lines and requires hot cut experiance. Local (Anchorage) union welders pull down 30+/hr and fabrication shops may pay more.

And yes, Alaska IS part of America, a full up State, last I heard.

When did you leave? Lately or in the big crash of '86?
