Reading this wage estimate

What does this data mean for your opening?

Manufacturing Headhunters reviews Indiana's industrial salary market, utilizing May 2025 OEWS data. Our analysis includes executive and operational roles such as CEO, Manufacturing Engineering Manager, CFO, Food Process Operator, and Sanitation Technician. We contrast these local medians with national benchmarks to provide hiring managers with clear reference points for budget development.

For manufacturing occupations in Indiana, 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.

Management roles in Indiana demonstrate substantial pay dispersion. The CEO / President (Manufacturing) reports a median of $254,180, which is considerably higher than the national median of $213,990. Conversely, the CFO (Manufacturing) in Indiana reports a median of $135,840, lower than the national median of $166,570. Manufacturing Engineering Managers earn a median of $155,810, compared to the $171,270 national level. These figures demonstrate that Indiana compensation is highly dependent on the specific leadership function and the industrial sector's requirements within the state.

Operational support and technical roles offer more stability relative to national averages. The Food Process Operator in Indiana earns a median of $41,250, exceeding the national median of $39,680. Sanitation Technicians report a median of $36,460, falling just below the national median of $36,840. The band width for the CEO role is $243,760, emphasizing the high variability of executive pay, whereas the Food Process Operator band width is extremely narrow at $1,680. Recruitment in Indiana should account for these tight ranges in operational roles versus the wide, negotiable ranges at the executive level.

Do these medians account for the specific industries in Indiana?

The role medians reflect all manufacturing workers within the occupation in Indiana. We include national-level industry data to provide a benchmark for specific industrial segments like Dairy Product Manufacturing.

How do I use the middle band width for my hiring budget?

The band width defines the compensation range for the central 50% of the market. If you are hiring for an experienced role, you may need to look toward the upper quartile of this range.

Are the median changes from 2024 to 2025 representative of annual raises?

No, the change in the median is a statistical shift of the market midpoint. It captures new market entries and retirements, not just pay adjustments for existing staff.
