Sheboygan labor market for garage door
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 Sheboygan is 1.12 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $30.17 an hour, which is 4% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.39 and $40.68 an hour. BLS counts 230 of them working in the area, 37.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is about average.
Electricians (47-2111), 20% of the weighting: a median of $37.92 an hour, 25% above the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $28.40 and $45.18 an hour. About 370 work in the metro. That is 61.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 48.7 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 20% of the weighting: a median of $30.01 an hour, 26% above the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $23.94 and $35.64 an hour. About 760 work in the metro. That is 125.4 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 ($40.68 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $140. At the 25th percentile ($24.39) it shrinks by about $75. The total moves by 6.4% or 3.5%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 60,630 jobs in the Sheboygan area. That makes it the 285th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.04% of US employment.
