What carpenters and the other trades earn in Vermont
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 1.05 for Vermont.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $30.00 an hour, which is 3% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $25.12 and $30.97 an hour. BLS counts 3,080 of them working in the state, 101.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 20% of the weighting: a median of $26.69 an hour, 12% above the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $23.02 and $30.00 an hour.
