38. It's not that unusual.
You have to keep in mind than electrician is considered a skilled trade, so union scale is a bit higher than an assembly line worker.

A non-union, non-business owner electrician would make considerably less than that.

Also, the $75/hour represents the total cost to the employer (much of which is legacy health care costs that would be ELIMINATED if we had true universal health care) and not the worker's hourly wage.
