Who does the work: Sheboygan trade wages
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 2 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 Sheboygan the blend is 1.07.
Roofers (47-2181), 85% of the weighting: a median of $28.00 an hour, 5% above the US median of $26.65. The middle half of them earn between $22.97 and $30.53 an hour. About 50 work in the metro. That is 8.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 8.7 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 15%) the local median is $27.14 an hour, which is 20% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $21.69 and $31.93 an hour. BLS counts 310 of them working in the area, 51.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is thinner than average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (roofers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $460 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $910. That is a swing of roughly 9.6% to 4.8% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Sheboygan has 60,630 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 285th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
