Why Lawton runs below the Oklahoma average

Construction wages in Lawton average $24.87 per hour against $26.50 statewide. Lawton sits below the Oklahoma 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.
