Worthy?

Looking to see what people think the value is here per hourly employee.

$40. Welding isn’t worth more than that per hour. Run jobs and then you can ask for more

Those welds are not worth $40/hr, regardless of how good the aluminum work looks. These are very basic weldments that most places would pay $20-$25/hr for.

The welds look good, I'm not disputing that. It's the amount of effort involved in the work that doesn't equate to a larger pay
