What carpenters and the other trades earn in Missouri
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 1.00 for Missouri.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $29.25 an hour, which is in line with the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.85 and $38.74 an hour. BLS counts 14,410 of them working in the state, 49.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is about average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 20% of the weighting: a median of $23.26 an hour, in line with the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $19.19 and $29.54 an hour. About 31,180 work in the state. That is 106.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($38.74 an hour) would add about $70 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($22.85) would take off about $45. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 2,936,050 jobs across Missouri (May 2025), which is 1.9% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 80% | $22.85 | $29.25 | $38.74 | $29.12 | 1.00 | state |
| General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071) | 20% | $19.19 | $23.26 | $29.54 | $23.84 | 0.98 | state |
