What local crews earn in Flagstaff
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 Flagstaff the blend is 0.93.
Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $26.91 an hour, 8% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.77 and $30.14 an hour. About 280 work in the metro. That is 42.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
For electricians (47-2111, weighted 10%) the local median is $29.49 an hour, which is in line with the national $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $23.72 and $37.00 an hour. BLS counts 250 of them working in the area, 37.5 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 48.7), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 10% of the weighting: a median of $28.14 an hour, 8% below the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $22.76 and $33.14 an hour. About 90 work in the metro. That is 13.5 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.0 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $390 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $500. That is a swing of roughly 5.7% to 4.5% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Flagstaff has 66,610 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 272nd by size among the 300 metros on this site.
