Who does the work: Sheboygan trade wages
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 3 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Sheboygan the blend is 1.12.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $30.17 an hour, 4% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.39 and $40.68 an hour. About 230 work in the metro. That is 37.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $27.14 an hour, which is 20% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $21.69 and $31.93 an hour. BLS counts 310 of them working in the area, 51.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211), 10% of the weighting: a median of $40.01 an hour, 35% above the US median of $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $29.74 and $40.01 an hour. About 40 work in the metro. That is 6.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 7.7 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $1,800 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $1,000. That is a swing of roughly 5.8% to 10.5% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
