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 Florence is 0.83 times the national level.

For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $23.68 an hour, which is 19% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $19.36 and $31.04 an hour. BLS counts 130 of them working in the area, 14.6 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 $21.52 an hour, 10% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $17.74 and $28.40 an hour. About 1,250 work in the metro. That is 140.4 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.

Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($31.04 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $55. At the 25th percentile ($19.36) it shrinks by about $30. The total moves by 9.0% or 5.3%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.

For context on the local economy, BLS counts 89,060 jobs in the Florence area. That makes it the 221st largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.06% of US employment.

When to schedule storm door in Florence

We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Florence Rgnl Ap (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.

September through June is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Florence (10 of 12 months). July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.

Florence gets about 45 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are June, July and August (5.8 inches in July). Inside the workable window, February and November are the driest, at 3.0 and 2.6 inches. The station averages about 70 days a year at 90°F or above.

Does the season change the price? Probably, but we do not have a sourced seasonal price curve, so the estimator shows a year-round figure and does not adjust by month. When you collect quotes, ask whether scheduling in a slower month gets a better rate.
