What this means for sourcing

How Ogden's commercial flooring market compares
In 2023 the Ogden metro had 4 nonresidential flooring contractors (counted by business location). BLS publishes that count but withholds headcount and pay here, which it does when a category is small enough that the figures could identify individual employers. The number of these employers rose 100%, more firms competing for the same crews. That works out to 0.6 per 100,000 residents against 1.0 nationally. Fewer local employers means experienced people are easier to identify, but many work for firms based outside the metro.
Among the 54 metros we cover with published BLS figures, Ogden ranks 37th for headcount, 40th for median pay and 7th for concentration for floor layers. That puts it among the deepest commercial flooring labor markets in the country.
| Metro | Employed | Median pay | Concentration | Commercial employers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salt Lake City | 320 | $47,030 | 2.52 | 7 |
| Ogden | 90 | $49,860 | 2.08 | 4 |
| Provo | – | – | – | 2 |

How Ogden's commercial flooring market has changed since 2018.
