Who does the work: Albany 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 Albany the blend is 0.68.
Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $18.46 an hour, 37% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $17.38 and $23.55 an hour. About 80 work in the metro. That is 13.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 20%) the local median is $21.00 an hour, which is 12% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $16.97 and $24.51 an hour. BLS counts 500 of them working in the area, 85.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $35 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $10. That is a swing of roughly 1.4% to 6.6% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Albany has 58,390 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 293rd by size among the 300 metros on this site.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
