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 Naples is 0.95 times the national level.
For tile and stone setters (47-2044, weighted 85%) the local median is $25.37 an hour, which is 5% below the national $26.77. The middle half of them earn between $21.44 and $32.83 an hour. BLS counts 360 of them working in the area, 20.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 2.3), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 15% of the weighting: a median of $22.13 an hour, in line with the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $18.77 and $24.00 an hour. About 2,340 work in the metro. That is 134.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.

At the 25th percentile ($21.44) it shrinks by about $310. The total moves by 10.0% or 5.3%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 173,880 jobs in the Naples-Marco Island area. That makes it the 134th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.11% of US employment.
