Local wages behind the labor line
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 3 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Hattiesburg is 0.79 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $23.25 an hour, which is 20% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $17.93 and $24.10 an hour. BLS counts 210 of them working in the area, 33.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Electricians (47-2111), 20% of the weighting: a median of $23.35 an hour, 23% below the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $20.29 and $31.16 an hour. About 240 work in the metro. That is 38.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 48.7 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 20% of the weighting: a median of $18.66 an hour, 22% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $15.37 and $23.30 an hour. About 850 work in the metro. That is 136.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($24.10 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $10. At the 25th percentile ($17.93) it shrinks by about $70. The total moves by 0.6% or 3.6%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 62,230 jobs in the Hattiesburg area. That makes it the 280th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.04% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 60% | $17.93 | $23.25 | $24.10 | $29.12 | 0.80 | metro |
| Electricians (47-2111) | 20% | $20.29 | $23.35 | $31.16 | $30.38 | 0.77 | metro |

When to schedule garage door in Hattiesburg
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Hattiesburg Chain Muni Ap (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
September through May is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Hattiesburg (9 of 12 months). June, July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Hattiesburg gets about 59 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are January, June and July (5.8 inches in June). Inside the workable window, October and November are the driest, at 3.7 and 3.7 inches. The station averages about 96 days a year at 90°F or above.
