Pay transparency for the trades
Are you underpaid?
Union workers can Google their pay scale. You can't — because your boss knows exactly what everybody makes, and you don't. That's not an accident.

The math your job posting hides
$42/hr sounds great.
It's really $29/hr.
Blue Collar Dollar calculates your true hourly — wage, per diem, bonuses, rotation, travel, all of it. No job posting will ever show you this math.

Drop your numbers
Wage, per diem, rotation, travel, camp. Anonymous — no name, no account needed.
We aggregate
Nothing publishes until at least 5 workers report the same employer. No one can be singled out.
Everyone sees the truth
Real pay by trade, true hourly math, and camp reviews — so you never take a pay cut disguised as a raise.
Built so workers trust it
✓ Anonymous by default
Post without a name or account. Pay-stub uploads get redacted on your own device before anything leaves it.
✓ Aggregated, never individual
Employer pages unlock only after 5+ submissions. No stat is ever built from a single report.
✓ Verified checkmarks
Pay-stub-verified reports earn badges — and outliers get flagged for review, not averaged in.
“The people who build, drill, weld, and haul deserve to know exactly what their work is worth.”
Workers report pay anonymously — wages, per diem, rotations, travel, camp life — and we turn it into true hourly numbers no job posting will ever show you.
Transparency is leverage.
Every submission makes the data sharper — for you and every hand on the tools.
