Well I agree everyone is hurting during the recession but you have to admit the skill that is a elevator technician is a rare skill to have thus is a little bit more recession proof than most.

Up to a certain point, I’d say that most of the information being told is true…however, during these economic times we are hurting and many are without work, some 500+ in my local. So don’t think it is recession proof.

Listed above it puts a techs wages from 20-40 dollars an hour. Most techs in large cities start at the high end of 35 plus.. and this is just what you see on your paycheck. The actual pay is around 60-80 an hour if in a union. The retirement and health benefits are superior to the majority of all other trades.

Yeah, if you think about it they are never without a job. If a elevator doesn’t work all hell will break loose, it messes up your day and handicap people can’t get up the stairs. This is one of the for better or worse jobs that people hate because the guys know their money is secure.

I always wondered about these guys and how much they made. Something to think about when it’s time to retool. I’m going to print this out for my cousin.
