How much do graders at PSA, SGC, GAI, you name it, earn per year? |

Graders - How much $ do they make?
Posted By: Jerry Hrechka
Over on the CU forum, PSA is advertising to hire a grader. In the thread it states that graders make between 35K to 75K per year - depending on experience. |

I saw that over there Jerry. But I would have to think the "big name" graders make more than that. 75k wouldn't go too far in Southern California or in the Northeastern U.S. |

Doesn't count the bribes though. A truly enterprising grader could make so much additional income that it would be better than being a politician. |

Mark..then I'm wrong. I was always told it was pretty pricey to live in the NE. I'm in Atlanta...where 75k can be decent. I'm 30 miles north of downtown...but 200k is what I paid for my house here and its a 4bed 2 1/2 bath with a basement (that i've been told I need to finish). I was under the impression 200k wouldn't get that up there. |

Mark...so then how could someone make it comfortably on $75k a year there if that is the top range for the top teir graders? (which I still can't believe is) |

I may have worded it wrong. The town i live in is expensive and most in CT are NOT. My wife and i make 4X over the state median income so we choose to live in a expensive town. |

The Twin Cities is one of the most expensive places for us average folks to live. We are also the third highest tax state. In most respects. An "average house" is about $225,000. And I do mean average....Minnesota has suffered from poor leadership for about 70 years. So Minnesotans have no one to blame but themselves. If a married couple with a couple kids, isn't dragging in at least $100K around here, you won't be going to too many movies. or anything else for that matter. other Minnesotans will vouch for me on this. People talk about how expensive Hawaii is. When my wife and I recently went there, the homes for sale were less than they are here. I just had 6 homes go up right behind me, and they are all over a million Bucks, Ah.....the American dream...Being in debt up to your eyeballs... |

I saw that thread over at CU yesterday. My interpretation, as well as another's, was that the person who answered the original topic-poster made the statement about 75K/p-yr in a tongue-in-cheek manner. He actually wrote it out, including how many cents. |

Mark, Alpharetta is a bit more on the expensive side in metro Atlanta...most areas arent as high...but it is in North Fulton County (the county Atlanta is in) everything in North Fulton is pretty high dollar...my house in Alpharetta would probably have been $350k-400 with the basement... |

I suspect Atlanta is flat and wide so you can easily move outwards if you need more housing. In Seattle, there are geographical constraints that help prevent this. Where I grew up, it was flat, not overpopulated, and you could build outwards. $500,000 in today's money would buy you a mansion on an acre of land in a ritzy neighborhood. I grew up within the city and my family's yard was 2-1/2 acres (when my parents bought the house it was outside the city, and the city expanded past it). In Seattle, they'd divide that into about 20 plots. |

Graders - How much $ do they make?
Posted By: Bob
One of the fastest growing States is Arkansas. A $175,000 house here is comparable to a $850,000 house in California based on several people I have talked to who have moved here. It is a beautiful state, much like Oregon although we are still light years behind Oregon when it comes to being a green state and protecting the environment. Southern states have gotten a bad rap over the years as being red-neck, hillbilly places but I can tell you that racial tolerance has greatly improved over the years and the people here are as kind and hospitable as anywhere you'll find in America. The pace may be a little slower and it takes a while to get used to the drawl but it is a wonderful place to live. The meth invasion has changed what was once a place where you could safely live without much fear of crime and locking your doors and that is a shame and has happened all through the midwest and south. One caveat-it can be a cultural wasteland if you live away from the major cities but sacrifices have to be made. The rivers and streams are fishing paradises and the mountains and trees in the northern and western parts of the state are beautiful. Near Mississippi, in the delta part of the state, things are not quite so beautiful IMHO, but all in all, a very affordable and beautiful place to live, just ask Bill and Hillary... |

My opinion is overpriced housing is a bad thing. Whether you can afford a mansion, or are poor or middle class, it's unhealthy for the overall community. I think housing as Bob describes is a healthy situation. |

Kind of like how it is where I live, Sonoma County, Wine Country, California. You are looking at a half million for anything that is on land, but closer to a million for any decent size house. Cheapest condo you can find that actually has living space, $300K. |

There are some non-financial costs one must take into consideration. For example, an apartment in Wisconsin may be cheap, but you likely will be surrounded by Packers fans. |

I was very fortunate to make decent money (not lawyer money but decent) a few years ago and build a house on 6 acres right outside of Dallas but basically connected.....It was a little less than you mentioned for 700 sq ft and depending on who is measuring it, is about 5k square feet.....I can barely see any neighbors and it passes my litmus test....I can walk all the way around the house and pee anywhere and not have anyone see me..... |

house prices here are crazy and salaries just are not enough and I am an engineer full time making around 75,000 - if graders make more than that, I am surprised. Maybe that will be a goal of mine to be a grader or work for a large auction house in the future when I am older. |

Leon that's a nice house, private, on a large piece of land. In Noyac where Barry's house is that goes for $2.5-$3 million. The land alone would go for millions. |

You can't buy 6 acres in the Bay Area, except for maybe the unincorporated area of Woodside. With that nice house of yours, Leon, it would cost you more than $2.5 million in Woodside. |

Noyac is one of the slightly more affordable towns out there, because it has a lot of old timers who still own their original home. |

Interesting hyjacking, but Bruce, I'm guessing "graders" are just normal 9 to 5, 40 hour/wk, 3 week vacation, sick leave, group insurance, etc. workers. It would be interesting to find out their training program, and "quotas," but I doubt any of them are gonna' come here and let us know. Of course there's burn out, bad days, good days, my boss is a jerk, etc......... |

Prices in NJ aren't much better. To live in Union County, for what my wife and I make together, there were basically 3 cities we could live in: Roselle Park, Orange, and Plainfield. School districts suck, auto thefts are high, and crimes are so-so. These are the "Better" of the bad communities (we obviously eliminated Newark, Irvington, Hillside, Elizabeth, etc). It's OK if you don't have kids, and you don't plan on having kids for a while. A very small house of 1200 sq ft. cost us 300K. Taxes are $6400 a year. Now if we wanted to move over a couple towns to the really nice communities (and we're talking about 5 miles from where I live), the little fixer-uppers start at 800K and taxes are about 12K a year. The average cost of a house in that town is 1.2 million. |

I live outside Gainesville ,Florida (Go Gators) and you can still buy 5 acres of nicely wooded land for $60-80,000. Put a 2000 Sf house on it with amenities for another $175,000 and you got a nice place for $250k. $75000/ yr here is a pretty decent wage. |
