Provo 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 Provo is 0.98 times the national level.
For tile and stone setters (47-2044, weighted 85%) the local median is $26.17 an hour, which is in line with the national $26.77. The middle half of them earn between $21.40 and $28.73 an hour. BLS counts 210 of them working in the area, 6.9 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 $22.43 an hour, in line with the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $18.25 and $25.27 an hour. About 4,760 work in the metro. That is 156.2 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 ($28.73 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $200. At the 25th percentile ($21.40) it shrinks by about $380. The total moves by 3.4% or 6.3%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 304,660 jobs in the Provo-Orem-Lehi area. That makes it the 84th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.20% of US employment.
