Hire Smarter. Work Better.
Construction labor market data for recruiters — real federal wage, unemployment, and per-diem numbers for any trade in any U.S. metro, assembled into a client-ready report while you’re still on the phone. No analysts. No week-old spreadsheets. No guessing.
Pick a trade, type a city, click once. Wage percentiles, local unemployment, labor force, per diem, hiring outlook and licensing — assembled live while your client is still talking.
Every number is sourced: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics wages and unemployment, GSA per-diem rates, U.S. Census population data. Citations printed on every report — nothing made up, ever.
Welders in Houston. Electricians in Fort Wayne. Millwrights in a town your client can’t find on a map — ZIP-code resolution finds the right metro and the right numbers every time.
Your logo, your recommended pay rate and per diem, your name on the cover — and zero RoadTrades branding. Hand your client a deliverable that looks like it took your team a week.
Market Intelligence shows you which one you’re walking into before you quote the work — backed by federal data your client can check. That’s the difference between a recruiter with an opinion and a staffing partner with proof.
Plenty of hands per 1,000 workers, normal unemployment, people you can actually reach. Recruit local and save the per-diem budget.
Few hands in the trade, 2% unemployment, everyone already on a job. Budget the federal per-diem rate and price above the local median to pull people in.
10th / 25th / median / 75th / 90th percentile pay, annual and hourly, for the metro, the state, and the U.S. (BLS OEWS).
Current metro unemployment, labor force, employed and unemployed counts (BLS LAUS).
The GSA lodging + meals rate for the location, per day and per 30-day assignment.
The federal employment outlook plus exactly which licenses and certs apply to the trade.
Two or three sentences that turn the numbers into a pricing and sourcing call.
Your branding, your recommended rate and per diem, client-ready PDF.
Market Intelligence reports come with every RoadTrades recruiter subscription — from 1 report a month on Starter to 20 a month on Enterprise (with full white-label customization). Need just one? Single reports are available à la carte. Compare that to commercial labor-analytics platforms that start at five figures a year.
Need white-label without an Enterprise plan? We produce standalone white-label reports — your logo, your recommended rates, client-ready. Request a white-label report →
There are roughly 27,000 staffing and recruiting companies in the United States — and only a sliver specialize in the traveling skilled trades. The rest face the same client question every day: what does this labor market actually pay? The federal datasets behind our reports cover virtually every occupation in the economy — nurses, project managers, paralegals, IT, logistics — not just the tools-on trades.
Directly from U.S. government sources: Bureau of Labor Statistics wage and unemployment data, GSA per-diem tables, and U.S. Census population figures — the same datasets economists use, refreshed on the government’s schedule and cited on every report. The data itself is public — what RoadTrades provides, and what you pay for, is the curation: assembling, resolving, and presenting it in one client-ready report.
Metro-area level for every trade we cover, with ZIP-code resolution for small towns — and a clearly labeled statewide fallback when the federal tables don’t publish a separate figure for a tiny market. You always know exactly which geography a number describes.
Yes — every RoadTrades recruiter plan includes Market Intelligence reports, from 1 a month on Starter up to 20 a month on Enterprise (white-label on Enterprise). Need just one without a plan? Single reports are available à la carte. See plans and pricing.
Yes — the white-label option replaces RoadTrades branding with your company name or logo, adds your recommended pay rate (single number or a range) and recommended per diem, and notes who prepared it. It’s built for handing straight to your client.
Posting and praying costs you two weeks. A report tells you in one minute whether the local bench is deep enough to fill the role, what the market actually pays, and what a traveler package needs to look like — before you commit to a bill rate.
Sixty seconds from now you could be reading the wage table for your hardest req.
About the data: RoadTrades Market Intelligence reports are built from publicly available U.S. government datasets (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, GSA, U.S. Census Bureau, BEA, CareerOneStop). RoadTrades does not sell or claim ownership of this public data — what you purchase is the curation: live aggregation, cross-referencing, geographic resolution, analysis, and client-ready presentation in a single report. Reports are informational only, provided as-is, U.S. locations only, and are not legal, financial, or employment advice. RoadTrades is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency.
