Job Title: Maintenance Technician

Company: Dish Network

Location: Traverse City, MI

Pay: $18.75 per hour

AI Pay Analysis: An hourly rate of $18.75 for a Maintenance Technician in Traverse City, MI, is generally considered competitive, though it may vary based on experience and specific duties within the role. As of my last update, the average hourly wage for maintenance technicians in Michigan typically ranges from $16 to $25, depending on factors such as skill level, certifications, and the industry segment (residential, commercial, or industrial). In Traverse City, where the cost of living can be higher than in other areas, $18.75 falls near the lower to middle end of the spectrum, suggesting that while it is a fair starting wage, it may not sufficiently attract more experienced candidates who could command higher pay. Overall, it aligns with industry standards but could be considered less competitive for attracting skilled workers.
