I was making $28 an hour almost 30 years ago in the OC wearing a lot of hats. That was pretty much tops, of course less skilled union guys than me were getting low 30's working for places like Boeing.
If you don't work in staffing please excuse my brain fog.

Yes that is me. Here is what I am seeing in So Cal/LA area
CNC Operator, no programming: $26 minimum
CNC Programmers: $30 to $45
Remember, companies pay anywhere from 45%-55% on top of those pay rates stated to use our services.
Companies that hire on their own will pay around 20% above those pay rates.
I work with the leading Laser Punch Press manufacturer and these impressive machines cost anywhere from 1 million to 3.5 million when complete. CNC machining is one of the departments, they pay a 52% markup on top of the pay rate but tend to be on the lower end of these pay rates.
