What does this data mean for your opening?

Manufacturing Headhunters reviews the industrial climate of Terre Haute. As a hub, it shows distinct differences from neighboring Bloomington and Indianapolis. For Manufacturing Engineering Managers (SOC 11-9041), the Terre Haute median is $130,530, contrasting with the national median of $171,270. The industry median for Aerospace Product and Parts Manufacturing is $192,800. These figures remain subject to regional industrial output requirements.

The CFO role (SOC 11-3031) in Terre Haute has a median of $122,100, which is significantly lower than the national median of $166,570. National Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing shows an industry median of $210,870. For manufacturing occupations in Terre Haute, IN, 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.

This compares to the national median of $149,280. National Computer and Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing data lists a median of $229,560. Human resources at these plants must manage local labor pools, which influences pay scales.

Injection Molding Technicians (SOC 51-4072) earn a median of $43,880. This is close to the national median of $44,350. National Iron and Steel Mills data indicates a median of $65,420. This is a highly technical role where local pay has converged toward national norms due to the demand for precision plastics production.
