Reading this wage estimate

What does this data mean for your opening?

Manufacturing Headhunters reviews the market for Sales Managers in Pueblo, CO. Data shows 60 individuals employed in this role. The local median pay is $166,160. For manufacturing occupations in Pueblo, CO, releases are separate survey estimates. They are not the same workers' raises and do not establish a pay trend or its cause.

The local P25 to P75 band width for this role is 107910. These figures remain distinct from the national median of $148,270. For manufacturing occupations in Pueblo, CO, 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. BLS does not track industrial-specific sales roles, meaning these figures aggregate a broad set of sales management duties.

In the Pueblo market, pay dynamics for broader sales roles diverge from those in larger metros. For instance, Colorado Springs reports a median of $127,390 for Industrial Production Managers, while Denver-Aurora-Centennial reports $146,460. These figures represent the Industrial Production Managers SOC 11-3051, which is a different classification than the Sales Managers role in Pueblo. We never mix hourly and annual data in these comparisons. The national row indicates a P10 of $73,170 and a P90 of $290,540.

National manufacturing industry data for Computer and Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing shows a median of $215,500, though this is a national-only metric and should not be confused with the local Pueblo median. For manufacturing occupations in Pueblo, CO, 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. These omitted items are common in higher-level sales compensation. The location quotient in Pueblo for this occupation is 0.26, indicating the relative concentration of these employees compared to national benchmarks.

Our analysis relies strictly on the provided OEWS data sets. We do not provide estimates where data is topcoded or unavailable. Users should evaluate specific job functions against the broader Sales Manager SOC definition provided in the BLS classification system. For manufacturing occupations in Pueblo, CO, releases are separate survey estimates. They are not the same workers' raises and do not establish a pay trend or its cause. Manufacturing Headhunters monitors these variations to ensure hiring managers have current, accurate benchmarks for regional talent acquisition strategy.
