Having just tried to hire some trade persons. The going rate seems to be 1K-3K/per day in Canada.
1) 200 sqft laminate flooring in a square room. Quoted $1500 for installation. One day job.
2) 2 day job to install a minisplit system I bought separately. $6000+
My sister was quoted over 1k for replacing a valve by a plumber, for less than an hours work.
These were not even labour intensive or high skill dependent things. Just basic trade person type of things.
Your $10/hour job can buy you plastic things made in China at the dollar store.
So I think these are the real wages in this economy.
- saagarjha 6y agoThat's probably going to the person who is managing it, I would assume? The actual people doing the unskilled work are likely making minimum wage.

- decafninja 6y agoTradespeople can make a lot of money. I've started to do as much house repairs/installations as I can by myself after realizing it would cost hundreds of dollars for even very basic plumbing jobs.
