Who does the work: Vallejo trade wages

Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $36.64 an hour, 26% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $29.37 and $43.86 an hour. About 660 work in the metro. That is 45.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.

That is a swing of roughly 8.3% to 8.3% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
