I used to work in the office for an electrical contractor, and payroll was part of my job; those electricians were in a union, had *all* the good holidays off (that I had to work), started at 8 and were gone by 3 (usually, there were a few exceptions), had an hour lunch which the ALWAYS took, had awesome benefits, and most made over $20/hour!!!! But they got dirty... good trade if you ask me...
