What do AV’ers Get Paid?

You’ve got to love America for the transparency to answer questions like this one: What do AV staff get paid?

Tech directors are the winners with average salaries around $100,000 and the top of the range getting $140,000.

The average pay in USA (Source: PayScale.com dated Sept 2014) for an Audio/Video Equipment Technician is $17.73 per hour, although some make as low $12 and as high as $25.

Some can count on an extra overtime pay at $19-$45 more per hour. Sometimes the techs get up to $2,000 in bonuses or up to $4,700 in profit sharing.

More experience can add 12 percent to your base and by growing older (and wiser, presumably) adds another 17%.

AV staff are normally highly satisfied with their careers and 94 percent are men. We salute the brave 6 percent — women!

And yes, salaries in America do vary from region to region. You can see them all for yourself here.
