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 Jonesboro is 0.75 times the national level.

For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $21.13 an hour, which is 27% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $19.07 and $24.23 an hour. BLS counts 110 of them working in the area, 18.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.

Glaziers (47-2121) carry 30% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Jonesboro metro, so we used the Arkansas statewide median: $21.49 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $18.12 and $23.02 an hour.

General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 10% of the weighting: a median of $18.46 an hour, 23% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $16.72 and $22.55 an hour. About 560 work in the metro. That is 92.4 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.

Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($24.23 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $100. At the 25th percentile ($19.07) it shrinks by about $70. The total moves by 3.7% or 2.4%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.

For context on the local economy, BLS counts 60,620 jobs in the Jonesboro area. That makes it the 286th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.04% of US employment.
