Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Powerhouse, Substation, and Relay pay in Indiana and Oregon
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Powerhouse, Substation, and Relay is $105,700 per year in Indiana. It is $131,050 per year in Oregon. Indiana is 19.3% below Oregon on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 49-2095 and the same annual wage metric. Median means the middle of each area's published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. The larger median is not proof that one place gives a better job or a better result. It is one wage fact from one source period.
BLS lists 290 wage and salary jobs in Indiana and 170 in Oregon. Those are survey job counts, not open posts. Read pay, job scale, local share, and price level as separate facts before you make a choice.
