The income varies dramatically depending on which part of the country you live in. I can speak for the West Virginia area... at the more populated counties (Kanawha, Putnam, Cabell, Mon) comm centers the hourly rate varies from about $11-14 for a new dispatcher. With a lot of overtime, it is easy to make around $40k annually. A lot of the smaller counties pay much less, around $7-8/hr.

In Tampa, it depends on your level. A starting dispatcher would be called a communications tech 1. There pay grade is a little lower, but it start out around $12 an hour. Once you get off of probation, and get your first promotion, you will go up to around $15. If you become a trainer, your pay will jump up again. Also, each year you get two raises. One is a cost of living raise, and the other is a merit raise. The merit raise is based off of your annual evaluation.
