Reading this wage estimate

What does this data mean for your opening?

In Utica-Rome, NY, the CEO / President (Manufacturing) reports a median of 197,880, a significant jump from the previous 165,280. The middle-band width is 147,150. Nationally, the median is 213,990 with a much larger band width of 226,660. The local market is notably below the national median.

This data, drawn from SOC 11-1011, captures broad executive pay across all industries rather than specializing in manufacturing leadership.

The Manufacturing Engineering Manager records a median of 160,680, up from 155,060. The local middle-band width is 76,300. The national median for the broader engineering manager SOC is 171,270 with a band width of 73,140. The Utica-Rome wage is approaching national levels. Manufacturing Headhunters notes that these figures do not distinguish between general engineering oversight and the specialized requirements of aerospace manufacturing.

For manufacturing occupations in Utica-Rome, NY, releases are separate survey estimates. They are not the same workers' raises and do not establish a pay trend or its cause. The middle-band width is 79,360. Nationally, the sales manager SOC lists a median of 148,270 and a band width of 106,980. The local median is higher than the national counterpart. This SOC represents all sales management; consequently, the specific industrial sales focus is not isolated in the published OEWS data.

For manufacturing occupations in Utica-Rome, NY, 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 10,530. The national median for the broader assembler SOC is 45,850, with a band width of 13,290. Utica-Rome wages for this role are noticeably lower than the national median. The high location quotient of 2.66 highlights the prevalence of these roles in the metro.

The Sanitation Technician records a median of 36,310 in Utica-Rome, up from 35,300. The local middle-band width is 9,590. The national median for the janitor occupation is 36,840. The local market is competitive with national levels. With a location quotient of 1.32, there is a high concentration of this labor compared to national standards. These statistics do not adjust for the specific plant-cleaning requirements found in high-precision manufacturing.

Which pay questions should you settle before hiring?

No, the VP of Sales (Industrial) is categorized under the broad sales manager SOC, which tracks all sales management across every industry. For manufacturing occupations in Utica-Rome, NY, percentiles describe the wage distribution of the mapped occupation. They do not assign pay to plant size, seniority, credentials or job complexity.

Is the sales manager data specific to industrial sectors?

No, the VP of Sales (Industrial) is categorized under the broad sales manager SOC, which tracks all sales management across every industry. For manufacturing occupations in Utica-Rome, NY, 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.

Why does the Electronics Assembler role show a high location quotient?

The location quotient of 2.66 means that the Utica-Rome area has a significantly higher concentration of electrical assemblers compared to the rest of the country. This suggests the local manufacturing base relies heavily on this specific skill set.

How do local medians in Utica-Rome generally compare to the national BLS data?

In some cases, like the Sales Manager, the local median exceeds the national level. However, for executive roles and electronics assembly, local wages currently track below the national benchmarks provided by the BLS.
