What carpenters and the other trades earn in New Mexico
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 3 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 0.93 for New Mexico.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $28.71 an hour, which is in line with the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.67 and $30.44 an hour. BLS counts 3,630 of them working in the state, 41.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is about average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 30% of the weighting: a median of $18.46 an hour, 19% below the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.07 and $22.26 an hour. About 12,470 work in the state. That is 143.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.

A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($30.44 an hour) would add about $300 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($22.67) would take off about $1,050. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
