How Illinois compares
The Illinois median 2-bedroom local move ($1,550–$2,150) models 7.2% above our national baseline of $1,450–$1,975, where a 3-person crew bills $180/hr.
What changes the hourly bill
The bill is crew rate × hours. Hours grow with stairs, elevator waits, long carries, parking distance and furniture that must be taken apart; a second pickup stop or unpacked boxes add more. Rates rise with the local labor index, so the same job costs more in pricier metros.
