Local wages behind the labor line
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 6 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Las Vegas is 1.04 times the national level.
For plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152, weighted 25%) the local median is $28.70 an hour, which is 6% below the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $22.78 and $42.13 an hour. BLS counts 3,800 of them working in the area, 33.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.0), so the local bench is about average.
For tile and stone setters (47-2044, weighted 25%) the local median is $30.55 an hour, which is 14% above the national $26.77. The middle half of them earn between $24.55 and $47.23 an hour. BLS counts 990 of them working in the area, 8.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 2.3), so the local bench is deeper than average.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 20%) the local median is $29.99 an hour, which is in line with the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.25 and $39.81 an hour. BLS counts 9,310 of them working in the area, 81.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Electricians (47-2111), 10% of the weighting: a median of $34.08 an hour, 12% above the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $23.26 and $46.72 an hour. About 5,730 work in the metro. That is 50.4 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 48.7 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Drywall and ceiling tile installers (47-2081), 10% of the weighting: a median of $25.13 an hour, 11% below the US median of $28.33. The middle half of them earn between $22.47 and $30.29 an hour. About 2,340 work in the metro. That is 20.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 5.3 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For painters, construction and maintenance (47-2141, weighted 10%) the local median is $27.58 an hour, which is 16% above the national $23.75. The middle half of them earn between $22.57 and $33.34 an hour. BLS counts 3,030 of them working in the area, 26.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 14.5), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($42.13 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $810. At the 25th percentile ($22.78) it shrinks by about $360. The total moves by 5.8% or 2.5%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 1,136,960 jobs in the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas area. That makes it the 26th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.73% of US employment.
