# Welding Skill · Manufacturing and Industrial Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/welding Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals, by using high heat to melt and fuse pieces together, often with a filler material, using techniques like MIG, TIG, or stick welding. Welders work across industries such as construction, manufacturing, automotive, and shipbuilding, and the trade requires precision, knowledge of metallurgy, and adherence to safety standards. ## Welding in the job market - Open roles: 87 - Employers hiring: 35 - Median stated pay: $80,000 (middle half $70,000 – $92,000), from 54 of 87 open roles — the 62% that publish a range, annualized to USD.
