Electricians (47-2111), 10% of the weighting: a median of $28.86 an hour, 5% below the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $23.46 and $30.52 an hour. About 1,110 work in the metro. That is 63.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 48.7 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Drywall and ceiling tile installers (47-2081), 10% of the weighting: a median of $25.40 an hour, 10% below the US median of $28.33. The middle half of them earn between $23.29 and $28.42 an hour.

Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($30.94 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $190. At the 25th percentile ($23.39) it shrinks by about $270. The total moves by 1.4% or 2.0%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 173,880 jobs in the Naples-Marco Island area. That makes it the 134th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.11% of US employment.
