Key Finding
North Dakota contractors bill $6/hr above the national median
North Dakota's energy sector and extreme winter climate drive above-average rates for a low-population state. Oil field service work in the Bakken region and harsh-weather HVAC demand keep contractors busy year-round.
For a 10-tech shop, that $6/hr difference means $120K per year in additional revenue compared to the national median.
