Yuma labor market for tile floor
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 Yuma is 0.93 times the national level.
Tile and stone setters (47-2044) carry 85% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Yuma metro, so we used the Arizona statewide median: $25.00 an hour against $26.77 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $20.66 and $30.39 an hour.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 15% of the weighting: a median of $20.80 an hour, 8% below the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.60 and $22.84 an hour. About 570 work in the metro. That is 82.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the tile and stone setters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($30.39 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $430. At the 25th percentile ($20.66) it shrinks by about $340. The total moves by 7.3% or 5.8%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
