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 Eugene is 1.11 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $30.09 an hour, which is 3% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.10 and $35.05 an hour. BLS counts 710 of them working in the area, 45.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is about average.
Electricians (47-2111), 10% of the weighting: a median of $45.52 an hour, 50% above the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $36.61 and $51.00 an hour. About 750 work in the metro. That is 47.6 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 $40.82 an hour, which is 33% above the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $28.25 and $46.22 an hour. BLS counts 210 of them working in the area, 13.3 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.0), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($35.05 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $600. At the 25th percentile ($24.10) it shrinks by about $720. The total moves by 6.1% or 7.3%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 157,710 jobs in the Eugene-Springfield area. That makes it the 150th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.10% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |

| Carpenters (47-2031) | 80% | $24.10 | $30.09 | $35.05 | $29.12 | 1.03 | metro |
