Tile and stone setters (47-2044) carry 85% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Spartanburg metro, so we used the South Carolina statewide median: $20.92 an hour against $26.77 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $18.68 and $26.47 an hour.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 15% of the weighting: a median of $20.29 an hour, 10% below the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.77 and $23.33 an hour.
