Reading this wage estimate

What does this data mean for your opening?

This role falls under the broad SOC 11-1011, which covers all chief executives and does not distinguish by company scale or sector. 77, highlighting a higher concentration of such leadership roles relative to the national baseline.

For manufacturing occupations in Twin Falls, ID, releases are separate survey estimates. They are not the same workers' raises and do not establish a pay trend or its cause. The local middle-band width sits at 65,760. Nationally, this mapping to the software developer occupation shows a median of 135,980 and a band width of 66,770. Because this role is mapped to software developers, it does not account for specific industrial electrical credentials or control systems hardware experience, which the BLS excludes in its generalized SOC structure.

For manufacturing occupations in Twin Falls, ID, releases are separate survey estimates. They are not the same workers' raises and do not establish a pay trend or its cause. The local middle-band width is 52,270. The national median for the broader financial manager occupation is 166,570, which remains significantly higher than the local figure. This role is captured under SOC 11-3031, which is a broad management category that does not specifically isolate manufacturing finance leads from other financial controllers.

The Press Brake Operator has a local median of 36,510, nearly unchanged from 36,760. The middle-band width is remarkably thin at 1,410. By comparison, the national median for this occupation is 46,330 with a width of 16,540. This suggests that the local labor market for press brake operators is currently more compressed than the national experience. As Manufacturing Headhunters, we note that the BLS does not isolate the specific metal-forming skill set from other production operators.

The Sanitation Technician records a median of 35,440 in this market, up from 35,200. The local middle-band width is 12,900. Nationally, the median for this janitorial occupation is 36,840 with a band width of 11,820. The location quotient is 0.99, indicating that the concentration of these workers aligns closely with the national standard. The BLS does not capture premiums for specialized plant sanitation, as the role is categorized within the broader janitor and cleaner SOC 37-2011.

Which pay questions should you settle before hiring?

The data tracks the SOC mapping for software developers, not a specialized industrial PLC control title. Since the BLS does not isolate PLC-specific work, you should apply these figures as a reference point for developer-level software pay, acknowledging that industrial hardware expertise may carry different market value.

What does the location quotient imply for the Twin Falls market?

A location quotient of 1.77 for CEO roles indicates that Twin Falls has a significantly higher share of these executives relative to the national average. Conversely, a location quotient of 0.46 for other roles reflects a lower density of those specific occupations in the local workforce.

Are the PLC Programmer wages in this guide accurate for manufacturing control?

Why is the middle-band width so narrow for the Press Brake Operator role?

A thin band width of 1,410 indicates a high degree of wage compression, meaning most workers in this role are earning very similar hourly rates. This often occurs in regional markets with lower diversity in the manufacturing base or highly standardized production roles.
