What local crews earn in Amarillo

Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $22.97 an hour, 21% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $18.55 and $29.60 an hour. About 350 work in the metro. That is 28.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.

A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $90 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $60. That is a swing of roughly 3.0% to 4.5% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
