Who does the work: Gulfport 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 Gulfport the blend is 0.85.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 50% of the weighting: a median of $30.31 an hour, in line with the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $23.38 and $30.31 an hour. About 1,240 work in the metro. That is 78.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.0 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Tile and stone setters (47-2044) carry 50% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Gulfport metro, so we used the Mississippi statewide median: $18.81 an hour against $26.77 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $17.97 and $24.12 an hour.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $0 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $120. That is a swing of roughly 7.2% to 0.0% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
