How Michigan compares
The Michigan median 2-bedroom local move ($1,400–$1,925) models 2.9% below 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.
