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 Coeur d'Alene is 0.93 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $27.00 an hour, which is 7% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.14 and $30.11 an hour. BLS counts 790 of them working in the area, 109.3 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 $31.90 an hour, 5% above the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $25.08 and $40.46 an hour. About 480 work in the metro. 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 $24.17 an hour, which is 21% below the national $30.67.

Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($30.11 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $370. At the 25th percentile ($23.14) it shrinks by about $460. The total moves by 4.3% or 5.4%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 72,280 jobs in the Coeur d'Alene area. That makes it the 254th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.05% of US employment.
