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 Sebastian is 0.81 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $23.24 an hour, which is 20% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $20.80 and $28.17 an hour. BLS counts 360 of them working in the area, 62.5 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 $26.74 an hour, 12% below the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $22.53 and $35.66 an hour. About 360 work in the metro. That is 62.5 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 48.7 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152, weighted 10%) the local median is $26.88 an hour, which is 12% below the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $23.52 and $30.77 an hour. BLS counts 210 of them working in the area, 36.4 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 ($28.17 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $590. At the 25th percentile ($20.80) it shrinks by about $290. The total moves by 7.3% or 3.6%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 57,620 jobs in the Sebastian-Vero Beach-West Vero Corridor area. That makes it the 295th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.04% of US employment.
