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 Oklahoma City is 0.93 times the national level.
For sheet metal workers (47-2211, weighted 40%) the local median is $32.76 an hour, which is 10% above the national $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $28.65 and $33.96 an hour. BLS counts 2,070 of them working in the area, 30.5 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 $21.00 an hour, which is 21% below the national $26.65. The middle half of them earn between $18.40 and $23.74 an hour. BLS counts 710 of them working in the area, 10.5 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 8.7), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 30% of the weighting: a median of $18.96 an hour, 16% below the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.79 and $22.89 an hour. About 5,570 work in the metro. That is 82.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the sheet metal workers on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($33.96 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $15. At the 25th percentile ($28.65) it shrinks by about $60. The total moves by 0.7% or 2.3%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 677,680 jobs in the Oklahoma City area. That makes it the 44th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.44% of US employment.
