What local crews earn in Deltona
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 2 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Deltona the blend is 0.83.
Tile and stone setters (47-2044), 90% of the weighting: a median of $22.34 an hour, 17% below the US median of $26.77. The middle half of them earn between $18.59 and $28.61 an hour. About 140 work in the metro. That is 6.4 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 2.3 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Carpenters (47-2031), 10% of the weighting: a median of $22.44 an hour, 23% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $17.85 and $27.17 an hour. About 740 work in the metro. That is 33.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.

That is a swing of roughly 5.8% to 9.7% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
