How pay is spread in Ohio

By median pay, Ohio is number 27 of the 54 states and territories in the figures. The lowest-paid tenth of employees earned less than $29,210 a year and the highest-paid tenth more than $106,800. The middle half, between the 25% and 75% lines, earned from $36,820 to $77,570. For the whole country those outer lines were $31,200 and $128,560. The average (mean) pay was $64,390, 30% above the median, because high earners lift an average more than a median. The 5,550,180 jobs counted here are 3.6% 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 Ohio are Office and Administrative Support (607,580 jobs, 11%), Transportation and Material Moving (527,150 jobs, 10%), Food Preparation and Serving Related (494,650 jobs, 9%) and Sales and Related (458,580 jobs, 8%). Some occupations are far more common here than elsewhere. Set against their share of all jobs in the country, the most concentrated are Computer Numerically Controlled Tool Operators (3.5 times the national share), Furnace, Kiln, Oven, Drier, and Kettle Operators and Tenders (3.1 times the national share) and Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders (3.0 times the national share). The table on this page lists 785 occupations; for 8 of them the Bureau released a job count but no pay figure.

Same job, different pay

Among the 449 occupations with at least 1,000 jobs and a yearly median in the state, 64 pay more than the same occupation does nationally, 292 pay less and 93 are within 2%. The widest gaps above the national median are for Pipelayers ($71,560 here, $49,000 nationally), Engine and Other Machine Assemblers ($74,750 here, $53,710 nationally) and Commercial Pilots ($150,330 here, $123,220 nationally). The widest gaps below it are for Judges, Magistrate Judges, and Magistrates ($95,260 here, $153,990 nationally), Office and Administrative Support Workers, All Other ($30,060 here, $45,670 nationally) and Rail-Track Laying and Maintenance Equipment Operators ($47,980 here, $70,070 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.
