Local wages behind the labor line
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 Tulsa is 0.81 times the national level.
For glaziers (47-2121, weighted 50%) the local median is $22.26 an hour, which is 19% below the national $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $19.99 and $24.55 an hour. BLS counts 160 of them working in the area, 3.5 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 3.8), so the local bench is about average.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 40%) the local median is $22.51 an hour, which is 23% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $20.30 and $25.03 an hour. BLS counts 1,320 of them working in the area, 28.8 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 10% of the weighting: a median of $22.00 an hour, 8% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $17.86 and $27.93 an hour. About 4,340 work in the metro. That is 94.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the glaziers on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($24.55 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $110. At the 25th percentile ($19.99) it shrinks by about $110. The total moves by 1.3% or 1.3%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 458,730 jobs in the Tulsa area. That makes it the 54th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.30% of US employment.
