BLS metro-level wage data places Construction Managers pay in Beaumont-Port Arthur, TX at a median of $100,340 per year ($48.24/hr), drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared with the national median of $114,990, the metro estimate is 13% below. OEWS reports the difference but does not identify its cause.

The Beaumont-Port Arthur pay distribution spans from $70,310 at the 10th percentile to $157,850 at the 90th, a 2.2× observed spread. Differences in specialization, employer, sector, location, credentials, schedule, and experience may all contribute, but OEWS does not isolate their effects.

Metro figures use establishment work location, not worker residence. BLS draws metro boundaries from the OMB MSA definitions, so Beaumont-Port Arthur, TX covers the central city plus outlying counties tied to the metro economically. OEWS includes straight-time pay, tips, commissions, incentive pay, and production bonuses. It excludes employer health and retirement benefits, overtime premiums, stock compensation, signing bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. The same occupation's national profile, statewide TX estimate, and peer-metro rows provide distinct geographic comparisons. A published median is a benchmark, not a prediction or ceiling for one worker.
