Answer 1

According to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook
http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos206.htm


In May 2004, median hourly earnings of electricians were $20.33. The middle 50 percent earned between $15.43 and $26.90. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $12.18, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $33.63.

Median hourly earnings in the industries employing the largest numbers of electricians in May 2004 were as follows:

Motor vehicle parts manufacturing - $30.04
Local government - $22.24
Nonresidential building construction - $19.99
Building equipment contractors - $19.76
Employment services - $15.62

Apprentices usually start at between 40 and 50 percent of the rate paid to fully trained electricians, depending on experience. As apprentices become more skilled, they receive periodic pay increases throughout the course of their training.

Answer 2

Depends where you work but here it is in my state PA.

If you work for a company, contractors or mining you can make about $21/hour with a steady income. (note: above ground in mines pay about $21/hour but below grounds pay about $23/hour)

If you work for yourself as a freelance electrician then you can make about $30/hour to $70/hour but you will only be able to work when needed so it's not a steady income.
