No sponsor in Minnesota has published a wage scale, so we can name the 2 registered apprenticeships below but not what they pay. The trade schools further down publish their prices, which is why they look more complete. That is a gap in the public record, not a verdict on which is the better deal.
What the job pays in Minnesota
$64,930median, per year
This is what carpenters earn across Minnesota, half above and half below. It is an experienced-worker figure, not a starting wage. Nationally the median is $60,580.
