What local crews earn in Springfield
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 Springfield the blend is 1.26.
Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $36.31 an hour, 25% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $28.38 and $42.01 an hour. About 660 work in the metro. That is 32.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For electricians (47-2111, weighted 10%) the local median is $37.22 an hour, which is 23% above the national $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $27.78 and $46.41 an hour. BLS counts 860 of them working in the area, 42.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 48.7), so the local bench is about average.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 10% of the weighting: a median of $44.27 an hour, 44% above the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $29.09 and $51.01 an hour. About 670 work in the metro. That is 33.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.0 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $690 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $950. That is a swing of roughly 9.4% to 6.8% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Springfield has 201,240 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 113th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
