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 Sheboygan is 1.28 times the national level.
For plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152, weighted 50%) the local median is $44.01 an hour, which is 43% above the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $29.77 and $50.42 an hour. BLS counts 150 of them working in the area, 24.7 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 Sheboygan metro, so we used the Wisconsin statewide median: $30.14 an hour against $26.77 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $27.44 and $36.42 an hour.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($50.42 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $110. At the 25th percentile ($29.77) it shrinks by about $240. The total moves by 5.2% or 11.6%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 60,630 jobs in the Sheboygan area. That makes it the 285th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.04% of US employment.
