Manufacturing Headhunters note that while the broader Chief Executives SOC includes many industries, the local high density points toward significant manufacturing leadership activity. The P25 local wage is $103,910, with the P75 at $256,880. For manufacturing occupations in Morgantown, WV, OEWS measures straight-time gross wages, not pure base salary or total compensation. Commissions and production bonuses are included; overtime, shift differentials, nonproduction bonuses and benefits are excluded. Given the broad nature of the SOC mapping, the data captures a spectrum of executive responsibilities that vary by the scope of the manufacturer in the region. Because BLS uses a singular classification for these roles, it does not distinguish between plant-site presidents and multi-site leaders. Employment numbers and wages are restricted to the provided OEWS report and do not reflect current shifts in hiring demand beyond May 2025.
