What local crews earn in Jacksonville
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 3 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Jacksonville the blend is 0.85.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211), 40% of the weighting: a median of $23.73 an hour, 20% below the US median of $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $17.51 and $30.02 an hour. About 940 work in the metro. That is 12.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 7.7 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Roofers (47-2181), 30% of the weighting: a median of $22.85 an hour, 14% below the US median of $26.65. The middle half of them earn between $18.27 and $28.35 an hour. About 1,400 work in the metro. That is 18.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 8.7 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.

BLS counts 7,150 of them working in the area, 93.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (sheet metal workers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $90 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $85. That is a swing of roughly 3.4% to 3.5% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
