Wages behind the West Virginia number
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 3 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 0.82 for West Virginia.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $23.42 an hour, which is 20% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $18.36 and $28.94 an hour. BLS counts 3,670 of them working in the state, 52.3 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.
For glaziers (47-2121, weighted 30%) the local median is $23.95 an hour, which is 13% below the national $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $16.66 and $31.81 an hour. BLS counts 140 of them working in the state, 2.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 3.8), so the local bench is thinner than average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 10% of the weighting: a median of $18.70 an hour, 22% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $15.64 and $24.62 an hour. About 8,060 work in the state. That is 114.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($28.94 an hour) would add about $180 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($18.36) would take off about $170. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 701,610 jobs across West Virginia (May 2025), which is 0.5% of US employment.
