Arizona Welding Jobs
Depending on their level of career training and experience, welders enjoy a wide salary range in Arizona. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that in Phoenix, entry-level welders earn $30,490 on average. More experienced welders in the area can earn anywhere between $37,400 and $49,200. While the slowing housing market could mean fewer home-building construction jobs, welding jobs may still be found in infrastructure, public-works projects, and schools. Welding jobs in the home-building construction industry will likely increase with the next housing market spike in large cities like Phoenix and Tucson.
