    I pay my truck drivers 30/ hr and I'm certainly not the highest in the area by any means.

    Starting first year apprentice is about that much.... But there's clear progression in the trade. Gunsmith in Canada is not that clear

    $22/hr? Really? As far as mechanical trades go you can easily make double that as a millwright, apprentices start at well over that.
    Didn't realize gunsmiths qualified as "starving artists".

    We have labourers on construction sites sweeping floors for $25,-/h and up.

    $22,- for a skilled tradesman? Is this a friggin joke?

    I'm not sure where the $22hr came from but we pay our entry level fuel truck driver $25.
    He can't shoot like that with a stock Savage and a Bushnell scope
