Compare an offer with the row that covers its actual worksite. A metro may cross a state border, and nonmetropolitan estimates cover a broader area than one town. An omitted region has no row in the table checked here; its wage should not be inferred from a neighboring metro.
These estimates concern employee roofers. They do not establish sales commissions, self-employed contractor income, prevailing-wage obligations, or guaranteed annual earnings. Benefits, overtime, paid travel and seasonal hours affect an offer’s value. The median is not a legal minimum.
