How pay is spread in Indiana

By median pay, Indiana is number 38 of the 54 states and territories in the figures. The lowest-paid tenth of employees earned less than $29,120 a year and the highest-paid tenth more than $101,160. The middle half, between the 25% and 75% lines, earned from $36,500 to $72,000. For the whole country those outer lines were $31,200 and $128,560. The average (mean) pay was $60,840, 27% above the median, because high earners lift an average more than a median. The 3,201,220 jobs counted here are 2.1% of all jobs in the national figures.

The kinds of work

Adding up the occupations with a published job count, the largest fields of work in Indiana are Transportation and Material Moving (357,900 jobs, 11%), Production (348,740 jobs, 11%), Office and Administrative Support (345,120 jobs, 11%) and Sales and Related (278,620 jobs, 9%). Some occupations are far more common here than elsewhere. Set against their share of all jobs in the country, the most concentrated are Fiberglass Laminators and Fabricators (6.0 times the national share), Pourers and Casters, Metal (5.6 times the national share) and Rolling Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic (5.3 times the national share). The table on this page lists 761 occupations; for 7 of them the Bureau released a job count but no pay figure.

Same job, different pay

Among the 388 occupations with at least 1,000 jobs and a yearly median in the state, 66 pay more than the same occupation does nationally, 261 pay less and 61 are within 2%. The widest gaps above the national median are for Physicians, All Other ($366,190 here, $265,930 nationally), Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators ($79,580 here, $59,850 nationally) and Broadcast Announcers and Radio Disc Jockeys ($61,760 here, $47,340 nationally). The widest gaps below it are for Physical Scientists, All Other ($68,670 here, $122,570 nationally), Managers, All Other ($79,900 here, $141,900 nationally) and Web and Digital Interface Designers ($63,430 here, $104,000 nationally). A gap in pay is not a gap in living standard: prices, housing costs and taxes differ between states, and these statistics do not adjust for them.
