Key Finding
Arkansas contractors bill $4/hr below the national median
Arkansas has some of the lowest contractor bill rates nationally, but rapid growth in Northwest Arkansas around Bentonville and Fayetteville is pushing metro rates 20%+ above the state median.
For a 10-tech shop, that $4/hr difference means $80K per year in lost revenue compared to the national median.
