Who does the work: Terre Haute trade wages
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 3 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Terre Haute the blend is 1.06.

That is a swing of roughly 7.1% to 8.5% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
