If I can get a copy of the salary survey from TCG this year <Business manager keeps telling me she get one for me as we are a huge participant.> I'll pass along what info I can. In the mean time, I can tell you I generally start straight labor < neck down stuff> at $9.00/hr and go up quickly from there. I will not employ a carp that isn't worth at least 10.50 - 11.00 an hour most of my carps are making in excess of that. I know it doesn't sound like a lot compared to a lot of Union gigs but unfortunately it's what I'm limited to in our budget range. You'll find that Hourly rates very widely according to region as well. Portland has an extremely high cost of living, which is why I refuse to pay folks "minimum wage"
