Local wages behind the labor line
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 2 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Lexington Park is 0.92 times the national level.
Floor layers (except carpet, wood and hard tiles) (47-2042) carry 60% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Lexington Park metro, so we used the Maryland statewide median: $23.02 an hour against $27.15 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $19.56 and $26.73 an hour.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 40%) the local median is $30.23 an hour, which is 4% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $26.36 and $35.38 an hour. BLS counts 210 of them working in the area, 29.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the floor layers (except carpet, wood and hard tiles) on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($26.73 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $230. At the 25th percentile ($19.56) it shrinks by about $210. The total moves by 5.3% or 4.9%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 70,650 jobs in the Lexington Park area. That makes it the 259th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.05% of US employment.
