Who does the work: Vineland trade wages
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 Vineland the blend is 1.11.
Tile and stone setters (47-2044) carry 90% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Vineland metro, so we used the New Jersey statewide median: $29.99 an hour against $26.77 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $22.31 and $46.73 an hour.
Carpenters (47-2031), 10% of the weighting: a median of $30.50 an hour, 5% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.87 and $50.65 an hour. About 180 work in the metro. That is 28.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (tile and stone setters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $210 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $95. That is a swing of roughly 10.3% to 22.4% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Vineland has 62,300 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 279th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
