Amber means the school reported this number. The line under it says how it was counted.
The union figure is hourly journeyperson pay. The school figure is yearly earnings from the College Scorecard for that time span. They are not the same measure. This site does not turn the hourly rate into a yearly total, because the source does not state hours per year.
On the union side, this is the application fee. On the school side, this is tuition. This site does not add them into one total.
The work is indoors and outdoors, from cabinets in a home to tall buildings and bridges.
The job follows a building plan, then measuring, cutting, and shaping wood and other materials.
The work includes frames, walls, floors, and doorframes, and installing windows and molding.
A tape measure is part of nearly every job, along with levels, chisels, saws, and nail guns.

The work includes lifting, standing, and kneeling, sometimes in cramped spaces. Outdoor work depends on the weather.
Most of these jobs are full time. Hours can include evenings and weekends to finish on time.
