The closest federal occupation to handyman work is Maintenance and Repair Workers, General, code 49-9071. The May 2025 release puts it at a $23.84 median hourly wage and a $25.86 mean, across 1,529,700 workers.<\/p>\n<p>Read that title before you lean on it.

Carpentry and the licensed trades do.<\/p>\n<p>Geography moves it as well. State hourly means run from $30.49 in the District of Columbia down to $21.23 in West Virginia, against $25.86 nationally. After hours calls carry their own multiplier.<\/p>\n<h2>The license threshold that caps the job, not the rate<\/h2>\n<p>Several state boards publish a dollar figure below which you may work without a contractor license.
