Local wages behind the labor line
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 6 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Warner Robins is 0.87 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 45%) the local median is $22.48 an hour, which is 23% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.48 and $27.96 an hour. BLS counts 180 of them working in the area, 23.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Electricians (47-2111), 15% of the weighting: a median of $30.34 an hour, in line with the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $22.50 and $33.96 an hour. About 160 work in the metro. That is 21.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 48.7 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152, weighted 15%) the local median is $28.13 an hour, which is 8% below the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $21.28 and $32.54 an hour. BLS counts 130 of them working in the area, 17.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.0), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Tile and stone setters (47-2044) carry 10% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Warner Robins metro, so we used the Georgia statewide median: $23.00 an hour against $26.77 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $20.94 and $27.57 an hour.
Drywall and ceiling tile installers (47-2081) carry 10% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Warner Robins metro, so we used the Georgia statewide median: $28.01 an hour against $28.33 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $24.62 and $29.83 an hour.
Painters, construction and maintenance (47-2141) carry 5% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Warner Robins metro, so we used the Georgia statewide median: $23.24 an hour against $23.75 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $20.26 and $27.73 an hour.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($27.96 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $420. At the 25th percentile ($22.48) it shrinks by about $0. The total moves by 1.8% or 0.0%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 76,050 jobs in the Warner Robins area. That makes it the 244th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.05% of US employment.
