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 Oklahoma City is 0.84 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $23.53 an hour, which is 19% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.13 and $27.60 an hour. BLS counts 1,420 of them working in the area, 21.0 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 $29.33 an hour, 3% below the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $22.51 and $36.89 an hour. About 3,100 work in the metro. That is 45.7 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 $28.44 an hour, which is 7% below the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $22.73 and $38.02 an hour. BLS counts 2,400 of them working in the area, 35.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.0), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($27.60 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $490. At the 25th percentile ($21.13) it shrinks by about $290. The total moves by 6.1% or 3.6%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 677,680 jobs in the Oklahoma City area. That makes it the 44th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.44% of US employment.
