Local wages behind the labor line
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 Ogden is 0.93 times the national level.
For plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152, weighted 50%) the local median is $31.18 an hour, which is in line with the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $24.02 and $37.71 an hour. BLS counts 1,310 of them working in the area, 48.3 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 $22.76 an hour, which is 15% below the national $26.77. The middle half of them earn between $17.24 and $27.60 an hour. BLS counts 170 of them working in the area, 6.3 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 2.3), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($37.71 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $110. At the 25th percentile ($24.02) it shrinks by about $120. The total moves by 6.3% or 6.9%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 271,370 jobs in the Ogden area. That makes it the 95th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.17% of US employment.
