Reading this wage estimate

What does this data mean for your opening?

In Ogden, UT, the Manufacturing Headhunters monitor specific compensation benchmarks that reflect a strong local engineering presence. Manufacturing Engineering Managers in this metro report a median of $167,990, demonstrating growth from the $154,390 median observed in the previous cycle. This current median is very close to the national median of $171,270 for the broader Architectural and Engineering Managers SOC.

The local middle band width for these managers is quite narrow at $39,100, which is significantly more compressed than the national width of $73,140. This narrow range suggests a highly standardized approach to compensation for technical management within the Ogden region's major engineering sectors.

The executive segment shows higher variability. The CEO / President (Manufacturing) position in Ogden reports a median of $165,740, up from $159,780 in 2024. The local middle band width is $162,170, which is substantially smaller than the national width of $226,660. This gap reinforces that executive roles in this specific Utah metro market may be focused on mid-sized manufacturing firms rather than the national mix of massive corporate entities. CFOs (Manufacturing) earn a median of $135,300, showing a modest increase from the $131,930 observed previously. This median is below the national benchmark of $166,570, reflecting regional cost structures and organizational scale.

Entry-level and operational production roles in Ogden exhibit moderate wage movement. Flexographic Press Operators report a median of $36,930, representing a decline from $37,330 previously. This role falls under the broad Printing Press Operators SOC, meaning duties can vary from label production to heavy industrial printing. Sanitation Technicians in the metro report a median of $30,860, with a middle band width of $9,260. These manual support roles are vital to regional factory operations, though the BLS groups them within a general cleaning services classification. The local median of $30,860 remains below the national janitorial median of $36,840, suggesting potential regional labor supply efficiencies in this segment. Hiring managers should weigh these annual base figures against the specific specialized knowledge required for their distinct manufacturing processes, which the BLS does not explicitly break out.

Which pay questions should you settle before hiring?

The narrow width of $39,100 suggests that local Ogden manufacturing firms have relatively aligned compensation strategies for engineering management talent. This could reflect a competitive local market where employers anchor pay to a shared understanding of market rates for engineering leadership.

Why is the middle band width for Manufacturing Engineering Managers in Ogden so compressed compared to the national average?

The narrow width of $39,100 suggests that local Ogden manufacturing firms have relatively aligned compensation strategies for engineering management talent. This could reflect a competitive local market where employers anchor pay to a shared understanding of market rates for engineering leadership.

Does the CEO median of $165,740 accurately represent total compensation for manufacturing leaders in Ogden?

The reported median is strictly for annual base salary as measured by the OEWS program. It does not reflect total cash compensation, which in manufacturing often includes significant performance-based bonuses, equity, or incentives not tracked in this survey data.

What does the employment count of 4,240 for Sanitation Technicians indicate?

The employment count represents the estimated number of individuals working within the broad Janitors and Cleaners occupation in the Ogden-Clearfield metro area. It is a measurement of regional occupational concentration rather than a headcount of individuals dedicated solely to manufacturing-sector sanitation.
