Wages behind the Nevada number
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 2 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 1.03 for Nevada.
For plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152, weighted 50%) the local median is $29.62 an hour, which is 3% below the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $23.34 and $43.05 an hour. BLS counts 5,370 of them working in the state, 34.6 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 $29.42 an hour, which is 10% above the national $26.77. The middle half of them earn between $24.02 and $41.07 an hour. BLS counts 1,450 of them working in the state, 9.3 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 2.3), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters ($43.05 an hour) would add about $230 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($23.34) would take off about $110. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 1,551,540 jobs across Nevada (May 2025), which is 1.0% of US employment.
