What Is The Hourly Wage For a Welder In Buffalo New York ?

Hello Vernon,

I was so excited to see your question, especially for my hometown.  It's a great area to live in and the cost of living is very reasonable.  Living there would bring many benefits over time but I will stick to answering your question about Welder pay.

 According to Pay Scale, A Welder in Buffalo earns an average of $17.13 per hour. This is 2% lower than the national average for a Welder which is $17.50 per hour. Wages for a Welder in Buffalo range from $12 to $26.50.  So you can make from anywhere in that range.  If you work full time (40 hour week) then you can expect to take home $480-$1,060 (minus taxes) per week.  Welders are a highly skilled trade that you may end up getting to the top of the scale, the longer you work in the field.  I am placing some informational links below so you can get more information.  I hope this was helpful.

3. Compare these to other cities you may want to live in
4. Decide the best option from there
