Unionized Elevator Mechanics ‘Can Make Up To Nearly $159,000 Annually’ & This CEO Says ‘They Can't Hire Them Fast Enough’
Ana Altchek at Business Insider reports Judy Marks, the CEO of Elevator Giant Otis, says there is a growing demand for skilled Elevator Mechanics - around the world. Otis offers an Apprenticeship Program, starting at age 18, and tuition perks for Workers. Elevator Mechanics can earn wages up to just under $159,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). In the United States, Otis Elevator Mechanics are Union-represented. Marks said Elevator Mechanics tend to stay in the profession for decades. She said Otis has roughly as many Mechanics with zero to five years of experience as it does Workers who have been with the company for more than 30 years. "We don't have this kind of 'silver cliff' that's coming," Marks said, referring to how some older Workers struggle in other Trades. "Most of them stay in the Trade the rest of their life, and a lot of them, their fathers or mothers or grandfathers were in it."
