What local crews earn in Prescott Valley
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 Prescott Valley the blend is 0.97.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 50%) the local median is $22.17 an hour, which is in line with the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $18.09 and $23.38 an hour. BLS counts 1,100 of them working in the area, 152.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Brickmasons and blockmasons (47-2021) carry 30% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Prescott Valley metro, so we used the Arizona statewide median: $28.49 an hour against $29.87 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $25.04 and $30.87 an hour.
Landscaping and groundskeeping workers (37-3011), 20% of the weighting: a median of $18.35 an hour, in line with the US median of $18.82. The middle half of them earn between $17.40 and $21.72 an hour. About 560 work in the metro. That is 77.5 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 61.3 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (construction laborers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $70 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $230. That is a swing of roughly 5.6% to 1.7% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
