What local crews earn in North Port

Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $25.00 an hour, 14% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.52 and $29.78 an hour. About 1,870 work in the metro. That is 55.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Glaziers (47-2121), 30% of the weighting: a median of $22.69 an hour, 17% below the US median of $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $18.23 and $29.23 an hour. About 410 work in the metro.

A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $160 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $80. That is a swing of roughly 2.7% to 5.2% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
