if you work here at $30 an hour
that comes out to $62400 a year at 40 hours a week (before tax of course lol)
if you get 15 hours a week of overtime which by law here is minimum time and a half after 40 hours that comes out to an extra $35000 a year

good shops and union shops will have double and triple time for weekends and holidays also they pay overtime after 8 hours for the day
so you can work 10 hours one day and thats it for the whole week and still get 2 hours O/T
union shops can get up to $45 an hour straight time

give and take a little based on where you move to here
and how busy the area and shops youre looking at are, and you can get a pretty good idea of what you can make over here
