Cheyenne labor market for kitchen remodel
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 Cheyenne is 0.96 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 45%) the local median is $27.00 an hour, which is 7% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.02 and $28.85 an hour. BLS counts 310 of them working in the area, 64.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Electricians (47-2111), 15% of the weighting: a median of $35.86 an hour, 18% above the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $27.95 and $38.02 an hour. About 530 work in the metro. That is 109.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 48.7 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152, weighted 15%) the local median is $29.55 an hour, which is 4% below the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $22.55 and $36.76 an hour. BLS counts 190 of them working in the area, 39.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.0), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Tile and stone setters (47-2044) carry 10% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Cheyenne metro, so we used the national median: $26.77 an hour against $26.77 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $21.73 and $33.76 an hour.
Drywall and ceiling tile installers (47-2081) carry 10% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Cheyenne metro, so we used the Wyoming statewide median: $21.15 an hour against $28.33 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $21.00 and $26.11 an hour.
For painters, construction and maintenance (47-2141, weighted 5%) the local median is $22.54 an hour, which is 5% below the national $23.75. The middle half of them earn between $18.00 and $28.80 an hour. BLS counts 80 of them working in the area, 16.5 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 14.5), so the local bench is about average.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($28.85 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $140. At the 25th percentile ($23.02) it shrinks by about $310. The total moves by 0.6% or 1.3%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 48,470 jobs in the Cheyenne area. That makes it the 300th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.03% of US employment.
