BLS metro-level wage data places Cement Masons and Concrete Finishers pay in Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area at a median of $50,120 per year ($24.10/hr/hour), drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared to the national median of $57,020, Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area pays 12% below, which typically tracks with a lower local cost of living or smaller specialized-employer cluster. Approximately 60 cement masons and concrete finisherss are employed across the Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area MSA in SOC 47-2051.

The Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area pay distribution spans from $39,130 at the 10th percentile to $73,480 at the 90th — a 1.9× spread that reflects experience tenure, specialization, employer size, and the difference between public-sector, nonprofit, and private-sector compensation inside the metro. The 25th percentile sits at $45,110 and the 75th at $61,060, so half of Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area-based cement masons and concrete finisherss earn within that middle band.

Metro figures capture where you actually work, not just where you live — which matters for commuters. BLS draws metro boundaries from the OMB MSA definitions, so Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area covers the central city plus outlying counties tied to the metro economically. Remember that OEWS wages reflect base pay only: employer-provided health insurance, retirement matches, stock options, signing bonuses, overtime, and tips are excluded and can add 20-40% to real total compensation. Before using this metro median as a negotiation anchor, triangulate against the same occupation's national profile (linked below), its state-wide ME data, and peer-metro comparisons — a median is a starting point, not a ceiling.
