How Much Do Trade Workers Really Make? Earnings Revealed at LaborFest

It's true what they say about people in the midwest... We traveled to Indianapolis this past weekend and stopped by LaborFest to ask different trade workers, "What do you do for a living? And how much do you make?" They had no idea we were coming (this was an impromptu trip to see family), but we were welcomed with open arms! Honestly, we’ve been kicked out or given a hard time at many events we’ve attended (Disney Springs and Mosaic District, to name a few 😅). But this was the first time we felt 100% welcomed not only by the event organizers but also by attendees! We're so grateful to all the union (and non-union) workers we interviewed and all LaborFest organizers who treated us so kindly. Thank you for helping us showcase the strength of unions and trades. We hope to see you again next year! 💚 #unionstrong Want even more transparency?
