Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $30.02 an hour, 3% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $28.28 and $36.07 an hour. About 900 work in the metro. That is 124.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
