Why Omaha runs above the Nebraska average

Construction wages in Omaha average $29.47 per hour against $28.10 statewide, so labor-heavy work prices above the Nebraska norm here.

Labor is about 58% 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.
