Green Bay labor market for kitchen cabinets
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 Green Bay is 1.06 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $29.00 an hour, which is in line with the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.46 and $36.01 an hour. BLS counts 860 of them working in the area, 49.3 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 $37.15 an hour, 22% above the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $24.79 and $44.59 an hour. About 910 work in the metro. That is 52.1 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 $43.54 an hour, which is 42% above the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $30.67 and $49.81 an hour. BLS counts 730 of them working in the area, 41.8 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 ($36.01 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $840. At the 25th percentile ($23.46) it shrinks by about $670. The total moves by 9.3% or 7.3%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 174,550 jobs in the Green Bay area. That makes it the 133rd largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.11% of US employment.
