What carpenters and the other trades earn in Mississippi
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 0.82 for Mississippi.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $23.39 an hour, which is 20% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $18.47 and $25.23 an hour. BLS counts 2,950 of them working in the state, 25.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 20% of the weighting: a median of $21.32 an hour, 11% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $16.85 and $26.97 an hour. About 14,550 work in the state. That is 125.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($25.23 an hour) would add about $15 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($18.47) would take off about $35. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 1,163,030 jobs across Mississippi (May 2025), which is 0.7% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 80% | $18.47 | $23.39 | $25.23 | $29.12 | 0.80 | state |
| General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071) | 20% | $16.85 | $21.32 | $26.97 | $23.84 | 0.89 | state |

Gulfport has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Mississippi at 10 months (September through June); Hattiesburg has the shortest at 9 (September through May). Rainfall runs from 51 inches a year in Jackson to 63 inches in Gulfport.
We do not adjust prices by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. Timing is still worth raising when you collect bids.
