What is the lowest paying construction trade?

Specifically I am a painter. Where does that rank up against other trades?

Also, if anyone has a list that would be excellent.

Thanks

Update:

No offense, but $10 per hour is nowhere near right. I live in Alabama, which is a very poor state, and I make $16 as a sub-contractor working at "cost-plus". I am just curious as to what the national averages are comparitively between the trades.

    Painter, about $10 per hour. Electrician & plumber, about $35 - $40, depends on whether you are a sub-contractor or employee.
