Occupational wages
BLS OEWS, May 2025. Helpers—Electricians, SOC 47-3013. Median annual wages: Texas US$44,360, United States US$42,670.
This is a broad occupational benchmark, not an individual offer or a license-level wage.
First step
Start by separating four things that often blur on paper: the employer's job title, the level of supervision, evidence that might transfer from earlier work, and hours someone has verified. An electrical helper and a licensed apprentice may do similar tasks, but a title proves nothing. Use a claim-evidence-gap table: write each claim in one column, the supporting record beside it, and mark what is missing. Common misconception: a job title such as helper or apprentice shows how many hours count. Correct practice: treat the title as a label, count only hours supported by a verified record, and list unverified time separately. If the case changes, such as new inventory evidence, rebuild the table first.
