It depends on their skills but some are known to make as much as $30 per hour. Outrageous, isn't it? Maybe if McCain wins, you can get those wages down to minimum wage. ;-)

While you're at, I would go after garbage collectors as well. If they make more than $5 an hour, its highway robbery. And if McCain really comes through, you might be able to increase your tax cuts. Sweet, huh?

How much money does a roofer earn?

In: Salary and Pay Rates [Edit]

Answer

For jobs that don't require a college education, the pay isn't bad. Here are some stats from the U.S. Department of Labor from a few years back:

In 2002, median hourly earnings of roofers were $14.51. The middle 50 percent earned between $11.23 and $19.56. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $9.15, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $25.35. The median hourly earnings of roofers in the foundation, structure, and building exterior contractors industry were $14.57 in 2002.

Apprentices usually start at about 40 percent to 50 percent of the rate paid to experienced roofers and receive periodic raises as they acquire the skills of the trade. Earnings for roofers are reduced on occasion because poor weather often limits the time they can work.
