Wages behind the Idaho number
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 3 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 0.87 for Idaho.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $25.00 an hour, which is 14% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.76 and $30.25 an hour. BLS counts 8,380 of them working in the state, 97.7 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 $30.29 an hour, in line with the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $23.26 and $39.44 an hour. About 5,690 work in the state. That is 66.4 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 $25.18 an hour, which is 18% below the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $22.21 and $33.48 an hour. BLS counts 3,090 of them working in the state, 36.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.0), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($30.25 an hour) would add about $630 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($21.76) would take off about $390. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 857,440 jobs across Idaho (May 2025), which is 0.6% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
