Reading this wage estimate

What does this data mean for your opening?

Arizona’s manufacturing economy demonstrates significant demand for engineering and sales leadership. For manufacturing occupations in Arizona, releases are separate survey estimates. They are not the same workers' raises and do not establish a pay trend or its cause. Manufacturing Engineering Managers (SOC 11-9041) show a state median of $167,480, which is close to the national $171,270 figure.

These data points provide a clear overview of the salary benchmarks for industrial leaders operating within Arizona's competitive manufacturing sector.

The CFO (Manufacturing) role, mapped to Financial Managers (SOC 11-3031), reflects a state median of $139,830, with a middle band width of $79,610. The state-wide Plant Manager median, though varying by hub, is recorded at $111,060 in Prescott Valley and $126,960 in Phoenix. These figures signify that executive-level industrial leadership in Arizona is compensated within a range that accounts for both the regional hub and the specific broad SOC classification assigned by the BLS.

Production Technicians report a median of $41,350, with a $11,660 middle band width. Sanitation Technicians, proxy-mapped to Janitors and Cleaners (SOC 37-2011), report a $36,220 median with a $5,120 middle band width. Manufacturing Headhunters notes that these figures track closely with the national averages, reflecting a mature market for production and cleaning roles. The location quotient of 1.04 for sales managers indicates that Arizona is a standard regional hub for industrial sales leadership.

These figures are derived solely from May 2025 OEWS data. BLS releases exclude total compensation, so these medians represent only base cash earnings. For manufacturing occupations in Arizona, releases are separate survey estimates. They are not the same workers' raises and do not establish a pay trend or its cause. We have not estimated any data points for sectors not covered in the official report, and the analysis remains bounded by the limitations of the broad SOC mappings provided.

What can I conclude from the two release estimates?

It is a substantial upward movement for this broad occupation in Arizona, suggesting high demand for leadership in industrial sales. This change is calculated exactly from the prior versus current May reporting cycles.

How do the Prescott and Phoenix Plant Manager medians differ?

The Phoenix median of $126,960 is notably higher than the $111,060 reported in Prescott Valley. This reflects the variation in market demand for production management between the larger metro hub and the smaller regional center.

Are these medians exclusive to the manufacturing industry?

No: The SOC mappings for Financial and Sales Managers are broad and cover all industries. The state-level data provided must be interpreted as the average for that occupation across all Arizona industries, not just manufacturing.
