What carpenters earn in Ohio
Ohio's carpenters earn a median $29.24 an hour, close to the US median of $29.12. That ranks 23 of 50 states, in the upper half of the country. Applied to the labor share of a 1,500 sq ft siding job, that adds about $20 to the national midpoint.
The index is statewide. Wages inside Ohio differ by metro area, and a contractor's price also depends on overhead, insurance, travel and how busy the season is, none of which a wage median captures.
