Corpus Christi labor market for vinyl siding
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 3 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Corpus Christi is 0.83 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $22.69 an hour, which is 22% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.33 and $27.72 an hour. BLS counts 1,250 of them working in the area, 64.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 30% of the weighting: a median of $20.40 an hour, 10% below the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.27 and $23.05 an hour. About 2,640 work in the metro. That is 137.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For sheet metal workers (47-2211, weighted 10%) the local median is $28.29 an hour, which is 5% below the national $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $25.89 and $37.37 an hour. BLS counts 460 of them working in the area, 23.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 7.7), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($27.72 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $870. At the 25th percentile ($22.33) it shrinks by about $60. The total moves by 5.9% or 0.4%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 192,580 jobs in the Corpus Christi area. That makes it the 118th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.12% of US employment.
