Industrial Production Managers (SOC 11-3051) pays a national median of $126,060 per year according to the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey released in May 2025. Full-range compensation stretches from $78,000 at the 10th percentile to $205,520 at the 90th, with a mean of $134,170 indicating a right-skew where top earners pull the average above the midpoint. An estimated 246,250 Americans work in this occupation across 52 reporting states and 504 metro areas.

BLS Employment Projections forecast a +1.9% change in employment from 2024 to 2034, which the agency classifies as slower than average relative to the 5% all-occupations baseline. About 17,100 openings are projected per year, combining new positions with replacement needs from retirements and occupation-switchers. Typical entry-level preparation is Bachelor's degree, with 5 years or more of prior experience generally required. The BLS Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) and Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) produce a workplace-safety grade of A for this role, with a fatality rate of 2.8 per 100,000 and injury rate of 0.8 per 100.

Geographic variation matters as much as the headline median. Delaware pays the highest state median at $153,000, which is +21% above the national figure. The top metro is Manchester-Nashua, NH at $174,360 - metro premiums typically reflect higher cost of living, industry concentration, or specialized employer demand. When using this page for negotiation or career planning, pair the national median with the state and metro rows below, remember that BLS wages exclude benefits, bonuses, and overtime, and revisit after each May OEWS release since percentiles shift with cost-of-living cycles and industry demand. See our methodology for exactly how these figures are sourced, computed, and verified.
