Key Finding
Georgia contractors bill $5/hr below the national median
Metro Atlanta contractors bill significantly higher than the state median. The gap between Atlanta-area rates ($105/hr) and rural Georgia ($72/hr) is one of the largest intra-state spreads in our dataset.
For a 10-tech shop, that $5/hr difference means $100K per year in lost revenue compared to the national median.
