BLS metro-level wage data places Cement Masons and Concrete Finishers pay in Western Wisconsin nonmetropolitan area at a median of $60,850 per year ($29.25/hr/hour), drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared to the national median of $57,020, Western Wisconsin nonmetropolitan area pays +7% above, signaling either concentrated employer demand, a cost-of-living premium, or both. Approximately 200 cement masons and concrete finisherss are employed across the Western Wisconsin nonmetropolitan area MSA in SOC 47-2051.

The Western Wisconsin nonmetropolitan area pay distribution spans from $47,590 at the 10th percentile to $87,920 at the 90th — a 1.8× 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 $58,960 and the 75th at $79,550, so half of Western Wisconsin 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 Western Wisconsin 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 WI data, and peer-metro comparisons — a median is a starting point, not a ceiling.
