Hattiesburg 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 Hattiesburg is 0.74 times the national level.
For plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152, weighted 50%) the local median is $24.01 an hour, which is 22% below the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $22.00 and $30.00 an hour. BLS counts 80 of them working in the area, 12.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.0), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Tile and stone setters (47-2044) carry 50% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Hattiesburg 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.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($30.00 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $100. At the 25th percentile ($22.00) it shrinks by about $35. The total moves by 6.7% or 2.2%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 62,230 jobs in the Hattiesburg area. That makes it the 280th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.04% of US employment.
