Oxnard labor market for shower pan
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 2 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Oxnard is 0.99 times the national level.
For plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152, weighted 50%) the local median is $29.95 an hour, which is in line with the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $26.64 and $39.26 an hour. BLS counts 1,230 of them working in the area, 38.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.0), so the local bench is deeper than average.
For tile and stone setters (47-2044, weighted 50%) the local median is $26.71 an hour, which is in line with the national $26.77. The middle half of them earn between $23.08 and $35.04 an hour.

Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($39.26 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $160. At the 25th percentile ($26.64) it shrinks by about $55. The total moves by 8.4% or 3.0%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
