The median annual wage for construction managers working in Memphis, TN, sits at $107,710, per BLS survey data. It runs 3% above the national median of $104,710 for this occupation — pay here is notably stronger than the U.S. average. The middle 50% land between $81,470 and $134,010 — a 52,540 range that reflects differences in seniority, employer type, and specialization. The average (mean) of $117,380 comes in higher than the median, which usually means a share of high earners is pulling the average up. The catch: Memphis is roughly in line with the national cost of living (cost index 100 against a 100 baseline), so that headline number buys less than it would elsewhere. On an hourly basis that is about $51.79, useful for comparing contract or part-time offers.

For context, the national median for construction managers across all U.S. metros in our data is $104,710.
