That is 60.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Cement masons and concrete finishers (47-2051), 10% of the weighting: a median of $23.78 an hour, 13% below the US median of $27.41. The middle half of them earn between $22.15 and $27.77 an hour.

The middle half of them earn between $19.64 and $27.43 an hour. BLS counts 90 of them working in the area, 12.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 5.3), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Roofers (47-2181), 10% of the weighting: a median of $22.13 an hour, 17% below the US median of $26.65. The middle half of them earn between $18.27 and $28.13 an hour. About 140 work in the metro.

A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $2,050 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $2,950. That is a swing of roughly 5.6% to 3.9% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
