Why Jackson prices look the way they do
The wage side of the estimate leans on carpenters, who do 60% of the hours on a typical job. Their local median is $23.05 an hour. Add the other trades involved and the blended wage index for Jackson is 0.83 (US = 1.00), which puts labor at 45% of the total.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Jackson is at 96.2 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $1,700 nationally becomes $1,650 here (midpoint, 1 door). Permits follow the all-items index of 85.5: $0 to $0.
Data note: 30% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Jackson. The wage table below marks each row.

Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Jackson Exp Stn (5 miles from the city center). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For exterior installation, the comfortable months in Jackson are September through June: 10 of 12. Outside them, July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.

Inside the workable window, September and October are the driest, at 4.1 and 4.0 inches. The station averages about 56 days a year at 90°F or above.

What local crews earn in Jackson
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 3 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Jackson the blend is 0.83.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $23.05 an hour, 21% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.81 and $26.72 an hour. About 170 work in the metro. That is 20.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 30% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Jackson metro, so we used the Tennessee statewide median: $23.37 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $21.42 and $28.39 an hour.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 10%) the local median is $23.12 an hour, which is 3% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.73 and $28.22 an hour. BLS counts 1,040 of them working in the area, 123.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $120 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $40. That is a swing of roughly 1.4% to 4.1% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Jackson has 84,530 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 227th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
