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 Oxnard is 1.18 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $35.61 an hour, which is 22% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $29.47 and $40.40 an hour. BLS counts 2,050 of them working in the area, 63.3 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Electricians (47-2111), 10% of the weighting: a median of $31.17 an hour, in line with the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $28.21 and $41.06 an hour. About 1,160 work in the metro. That is 35.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 48.7 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152, weighted 10%) the local median is $29.95 an hour, which is in line with the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $26.64 and $39.26 an hour. BLS counts 1,230 of them working in the area, 38.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.0), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($40.40 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $580. At the 25th percentile ($29.47) it shrinks by about $740. The total moves by 5.6% or 7.2%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 323,890 jobs in the Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura area. That makes it the 79th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.21% of US employment.
