Kansas labor market for kitchen cabinets
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 0.96 for Kansas.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $27.39 an hour, which is 6% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.99 and $32.08 an hour. BLS counts 5,210 of them working in the state, 36.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Electricians (47-2111), 10% of the weighting: a median of $31.66 an hour, 4% above the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $24.67 and $38.73 an hour. About 6,350 work in the state. That is 44.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 48.7 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
For plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152, weighted 10%) the local median is $31.36 an hour, which is in line with the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $23.67 and $40.80 an hour. BLS counts 4,590 of them working in the state, 31.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.0), so the local bench is about average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($32.08 an hour) would add about $560 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($22.99) would take off about $530. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
