What is behind the Texarkana number
The wage side of the estimate leans on sheet metal workers, who do 40% of the hours on a typical job. Their local median is $23.60 an hour. Add the other trades involved and the blended wage index for Texarkana is 0.80 (US = 1.00), which puts labor at 34% of the total.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Texarkana is at 93.7 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $1,600 nationally becomes $1,500 here (midpoint, 160 linear ft). Permits follow the all-items index of 84.0: $0 to $170.
Data note: 30% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Texarkana. The wage table below marks each row.

Who does the work: Texarkana trade wages
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 Texarkana the blend is 0.80.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211), 40% of the weighting: a median of $23.60 an hour, 21% below the US median of $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $18.32 and $28.95 an hour. About 50 work in the metro. That is 8.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 7.7 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Roofers (47-2181) carry 30% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Texarkana metro, so we used the Texas statewide median: $22.13 an hour against $26.65 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $18.00 and $25.78 an hour.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $17.48 an hour, which is 23% below the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $15.37 and $19.11 an hour. BLS counts 450 of them working in the area, 78.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is about average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (sheet metal workers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $75 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $75. That is a swing of roughly 3.1% to 3.1% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Texarkana has 57,580 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 296th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
