Wages behind the New Jersey number
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 1.07 for New Jersey.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $30.77 an hour, which is 6% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.63 and $38.67 an hour. BLS counts 14,230 of them working in the state, 33.2 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 $26.35 an hour, 11% above the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $21.93 and $32.07 an hour. About 37,350 work in the state. That is 87.1 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 ($38.67 an hour) would add about $55 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($24.63) 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 4,285,720 jobs across New Jersey (May 2025), which is 2.8% of US employment.
