Before I retired, the company I worked for paid on the average about $50- $60 for labor, this was an industrial manufacturer using skilled labor, welders, fitter,assembly , employee pay was anywhere from $15- $25 an hour for hourly employees, yes we had good bennies and lots of overtime.

Would that be union labor in TX?

No, it was non-union. Yes it was oilfield related. Last Nov. stock was trading about $46 a share, today it is around $16.

Just for the record, I am active union labor in Michigan. Low wage in our shop is 19 high is 27. We pay 50 a week for our health care, almost 60 per month for dues. We make military hardware. Anyone who works here and votes democrat, votes to eliminate their own job. Our company says labor costs are almost 70 bucks per hour.
