Reading this wage estimate
What does this data mean for your opening?
The Milwaukee-Waukesha, WI industrial hub exhibits a sound salary structure across various management and production roles. Manufacturing Headhunters observes that the CEO / President (Manufacturing) median is $216,240, closely aligning with the national median of $213,990. For manufacturing occupations in Milwaukee-Waukesha, WI, percentiles describe the wage distribution of the mapped occupation.
They do not assign pay to plant size, seniority, credentials or job complexity. Assess duties and candidate requirements separately; these rows do not measure a premium for them.
