Why Lake Havasu City runs below the Arizona average

Construction wages in Lake Havasu City average $25.90 per hour against $28.86 statewide. Lake Havasu City sits below the Arizona average because the statewide figure is pulled up by higher-wage metros elsewhere in the state.

Labor is about 50% of the installed cost on this type of work, and it is the part that actually moves between markets. Materials are priced by national manufacturers and barely shift, which is why the gap between metros is narrower than wage differences alone suggest.
