Labor rates in today's economy
What rates are you seeing in your local markets for things like plumbers, electrician, general or handyman work and painting?
Just curious how Covid has impacted prices.
Lead times for work have exploded but prices haven't gone up at the same rate.
In Cincinnati
General labor is probably 40-50/hr
Plumbing is 125
And electricians can charge 200+/hr
This represents the cost of everything except materials. Out of this come taxes/benefits and overhead costs.
Personally I don't see these costs as outrageous but I don't have allot of context and want to do an informal survey of what you see for rates in your area?
