Mississippi labor market for gutters
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 3 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 0.80 for Mississippi.
For sheet metal workers (47-2211, weighted 40%) the local median is $23.80 an hour, which is 20% below the national $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $18.78 and $30.12 an hour. BLS counts 1,260 of them working in the state, 10.8 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 7.7), so the local bench is deeper than average.
For roofers (47-2181, weighted 30%) the local median is $21.61 an hour, which is 19% below the national $26.65. The middle half of them earn between $17.53 and $23.56 an hour. BLS counts 480 of them working in the state, 4.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 8.7), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 30% of the weighting: a median of $18.13 an hour, 20% below the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $16.25 and $22.01 an hour. About 8,800 work in the state. That is 75.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for sheet metal workers ($30.12 an hour) would add about $90 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($18.78) would take off about $70. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 1,163,030 jobs across Mississippi (May 2025), which is 0.7% of US employment.

Mississippi seasons and gutters
Season matters for gutters. For each Mississippi metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Gulfport has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Mississippi at 10 months (September through June); Hattiesburg has the shortest at 9 (September through May). Rainfall runs from 51 inches a year in Jackson to 63 inches in Gulfport.
We do not adjust prices by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. Timing is still worth raising when you collect bids.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jackson | 38 | 92 | 51 | 9: September through May |
| Gulfport | 42 | 90 | 63 | 10: September through June |
