ServiceSeeking, a service site, analyzed fees for more than 5000 hours for each mechanic industry in 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, and came up with a quarterly list of wealthy craftsmen, (Tradie Rich List). The list reveals Australia`s most profitable craftsman industry, as well as industries where mechanic fees fell last year.
The results of the list show that pipeline construction workers charge the highest, at A $87.88 an hour, up from A $84.53 last year.
