WageScope divides the published Industrial Engineers median by the BEA all-items index. This is a price-level comparison, not take-home pay, a personal budget, or a quality-of-life score.
Use the local pay range, same-source bench marks, job scale, price level, and survey care marks as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 17-2112 and BLS area 54.
Questions, answered
Industrial Engineers pay in West Virginia: common questions
What is the median wage for Industrial Engineers in West Virginia?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $108,360 per year for Industrial Engineers in West Virginia. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Industrial Engineers pay higher in West Virginia than nationally?
West Virginia's published median was 5.8% above the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in West Virginia?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 89.5 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

What the Industrial Engineers median says in West Virginia
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Industrial Engineers median in West Virginia at $108,360 per year. Median means the middle of the published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. It is not a job offer. The row is tied to SOC 17-2112 and BLS area 54.
BLS lists 850 wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate. It is not a count of open posts. The local mean is $116,340 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
West Virginia's Industrial Engineers median is 5.8% above the U.S. Industrial Engineers median of $102,440 on the same published median. The comparison uses the same SOC code and source period. It does not add price levels, taxes, benefits, hours, or a person's work history.
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 17-2112 and area 54. SOC 17-2112 names Industrial Engineers. Area 54 names West Virginia. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 17-2112/54 row reports 850 wage and salary jobs, 1.21 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.51 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 17-2112/54, the annual median is $108,360 per year, while the matching mean is $116,340 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 54 facts behind this Industrial Engineers page
Area 54 reports 701,610 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $56,470. Its annual median is $45,300. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 17-2112 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in West Virginia runs from $26,070 at the 10th percentile to $98,220 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $31,530. The median is $45,300. The 75th percentile is $64,940. This is a place check, not a pay range for Industrial Engineers.
The source rows below are the six largest detailed roles in the bounded area file. Each keeps its own SOC code. They help a reader spot-check area 54. They do not show related skills or a path into Industrial Engineers.
1. Area 54, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 23,430 jobs, $80,130 annual median, 33.39 jobs per 1,000, and 1.54 location quotient.
2. Area 54, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 19,050 jobs, $28,950 annual median, 27.15 jobs per 1,000, and 1.08 location quotient.
3. Area 54, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 18,890 jobs, $28,010 annual median, 26.92 jobs per 1,000, and 0.97 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the West Virginia wage ladder for Industrial Engineers
The 10th percentile is $76,180 per year. The 25th percentile is $84,820 per year. The median is $108,360 per year. The 75th percentile is $141,370 per year. The 90th percentile is $163,090 per year.
A percentile is a rank point, not a career stage. The 10th percentile does not mean new-worker pay. The 90th percentile does not mean a wage that comes after a set number of years. The points show how the wage values spread in the source. They do not say why one job sits at one point.
The middle half runs from $84,820 per year to $141,370 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $86,910. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
West Virginia has a annual median of $108,360 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $102,440 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for West Virginia. West Virginia is 5.8% above the United States on the same published median. A gap can reflect many things that are not in this row. WageScope reports the gap but does not name a cause.
The state and U.S. rows are bench marks, not replacements. They do not fill missing local facts. A state can hold many local labor markets. A national row can hold many states. Read the local row first, then use the broader rows to see scale.
West Virginia ranks 14 of 52 among states and territories with a published annual median for Industrial Engineers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 14 of 52 is not a place score. A small wage gap can move a row several spots. The rank does not add local prices, job count, concentration, commute, taxes, or work rules. Use it only to find where the published median falls inside this like-for-like set.
The nearby rows below are the closest ranks, not chosen cities. Their pay, job counts, and local shares can differ. Open a peer page before making a deeper comparison. A title and one number are not enough for a move or pay choice.
11. Colorado has a Industrial Engineers median of $109,750 per year, 5,200 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.77.
12. Massachusetts has a Industrial Engineers median of $109,420 per year, 11,470 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.34.
13. Rhode Island has a Industrial Engineers median of $109,350 per year, 990 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.84.
15. Arizona has a Industrial Engineers median of $108,280 per year, 7,520 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.99.
Pay leaders
Where Industrial Engineers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 17-2112, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Alaska has the highest published median in this set, at $156,510 per year. West Virginia sits at $108,360 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Industrial Engineers is in the local mix. It also does not add local prices. The bullets keep the median, job count, and location quotient together so a high wage is not read as a full market score.
Use this list to choose a deeper pair, not to choose a place. Open the two local pages. Check the full wage ladder, the job scale, the survey care marks, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. Alaska has a Industrial Engineers median of $156,510 per year, or $48,150 above West Virginia. BLS lists 220 jobs there, compared with 850 in West Virginia. The location quotient is 0.28.
2. Washington has a Industrial Engineers median of $129,050 per year, or $20,690 above West Virginia. BLS lists 6,130 jobs there, compared with 850 in West Virginia. The location quotient is 0.73.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Industrial Engineers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Industrial Engineers in this same-source set, at 32,680 jobs. West Virginia has 850. The count shows covered job scale, not open posts.
A large job base can have a lower median than a smaller one. It can also have a location quotient near or below 1. That is why WageScope does not blend job count, pay, and local share. Each field keeps its name and unit. The rows below let you compare all three without making one score.
Current MeritLog listings can add a dated view of employer-title matches. They do not change this May 2025 order. A place with few current cards can still have a large BLS job estimate. A place with several cards can still have a smaller estimate. The sources use different clocks and scopes.
1. California has 32,680 estimated Industrial Engineers jobs, a gap of 31,830 jobs from West Virginia. Its median is $124,600 per year, or $16,240 above West Virginia. Its location quotient is 0.76.
2. Michigan has 30,990 estimated Industrial Engineers jobs, a gap of 30,140 jobs from West Virginia. Its median is $101,680 per year, or $6,680 below West Virginia. Its location quotient is 2.99.
Local-share leaders
Where Industrial Engineers takes the largest share of local jobs
Michigan has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.99. West Virginia has 0.51. A value above 1 means the role's local job share is larger than its national share.
A high quotient can come from a small local job base. It does not prove more jobs, more posts, faster growth, or higher pay. The bullets keep each quotient beside its BLS job count and median. This lets a reader see when the three measures point in different ways.
Use this list to ask where Industrial Engineers is a large part of the local mix. Use the employment list to ask where BLS counts the most jobs. Use the pay list to ask where the median is highest. None of those lists decides where a person should work.
1. Michigan has a location quotient of 2.99, a gap of 2.48 from West Virginia. BLS lists 30,990 Industrial Engineers jobs and a median of $101,680 per year, or $6,680 below West Virginia.
2. Minnesota has a location quotient of 2.53, a gap of 2.02 from West Virginia. BLS lists 17,580 Industrial Engineers jobs and a median of $102,660 per year, or $5,700 below West Virginia.
3. Wisconsin has a location quotient of 1.89, a gap of 1.38 from West Virginia. BLS lists 13,070 Industrial Engineers jobs and a median of $96,980 per year, or $11,380 below West Virginia.
Job scale and share
How common Industrial Engineers is in West Virginia
BLS lists 850 Industrial Engineers jobs in West Virginia. It also lists 1.21 jobs per 1,000 local jobs. Jobs per 1,000 turns the count into a rate. It helps compare places of different size. It does not show open posts or hiring speed.
The location quotient is 0.51. A value of 1 means Industrial Engineers has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is lower than 1. The quotient is a share check, not a wage or a growth measure.
Read the three values as separate facts. Employment asks how many covered jobs BLS estimated. Jobs per 1,000 asks how much of the local job base the role takes. Location quotient asks how that share compares with the national share. None of them tells you how many posts are open today.
Industrial Engineers beside other roles in West Virginia
The all-occupations median in West Virginia is $45,300 per year. The Industrial Engineers median is $108,360 per year. Industrial Engineers is 139.2% above the local all-occupations median on the same published median. This compares one role with the full covered job mix.
The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for West Virginia. They are close by wage, not by task. A small wage gap does not mean two jobs need the same skill or lead to the same career. Official titles keep their own SOC codes and source rows.
Use the list to spot the local wage mix around Industrial Engineers. Then open the role page you mean. A role can have a similar median and a very different job count or local share. The pay number alone cannot show fit, demand, or a path between jobs.
1. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a West Virginia median of $82,500 per year. BLS lists 15,300 jobs and a location quotient of 0.97.
2. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a West Virginia median of $80,130 per year. BLS lists 23,430 jobs and a location quotient of 1.54.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Construction Trades and Extraction Workers, SOC 47-1011, has a West Virginia median of $80,060 per year. BLS lists 5,380 jobs and a location quotient of 1.47.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in West Virginia
Registered Nurses is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded West Virginia table, at 23,430 jobs. Industrial Engineers has 850 jobs in its exact role-place row. The two counts show where this role sits beside other large parts of the local job base.
The all-occupations job count is 701,610. The detailed list below is only a bounded view of that larger mix. It does not sum to every local job. It does not include a blank role as zero. It helps explain why one role's wage and job count should not stand in for the whole area.
A large role can have a lower median. A smaller role can have a higher one. Job count does not show current posts, job quality, or growth. Use the list to see local scale. Then keep Industrial Engineers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Registered Nurses has 23,430 jobs in West Virginia, a gap of 22,580 from Industrial Engineers. Its median is $80,130 per year, or $28,230 below Industrial Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.54.
2. Retail Salespersons has 19,050 jobs in West Virginia, a gap of 18,200 from Industrial Engineers. Its median is $28,950 per year, or $79,410 below Industrial Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.08.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around West Virginia
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded West Virginia role table, at $82,500 per year. Industrial Engineers has $108,360 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $45,300 per year. A role above that mark is not better. A role below it is not worse. The mark only shows where the role's published median sits against the full covered job mix. Job tasks, level, hours, and work setting are separate facts.
The bullets keep each SOC title, job count, median, and local share together. Use them to find a role page worth opening. Do not use a close median as proof that two roles share skills or that one is a path to the other.
1. General and Operations Managers has a median of $82,500 per year in West Virginia, or $25,860 below Industrial Engineers. BLS lists 15,300 jobs, compared with 850 for Industrial Engineers. Its location quotient is 0.97.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $80,130 per year in West Virginia, or $28,230 below Industrial Engineers. BLS lists 23,430 jobs, compared with 850 for Industrial Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.54.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Construction Trades and Extraction Workers has a median of $80,060 per year in West Virginia, or $28,300 below Industrial Engineers. BLS lists 5,380 jobs, compared with 850 for Industrial Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.47.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in West Virginia
Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded West Virginia role table, at 5.7. Industrial Engineers has 0.51. Both values compare a local job share with the matching national share.
A quotient above 1 means the role takes a larger share of local jobs than it does across the nation. It does not mean more jobs than every other role. It does not mean open posts, growth, or high pay. The job count and median beside each row answer those other narrow questions.
The local role-share mix can differ a lot from the pay mix. Read both lists. Then compare Industrial Engineers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Cooks, Fast Food has a location quotient of 5.7 in West Virginia, a gap of 5.19 from Industrial Engineers. BLS lists 16,490 jobs and a median of $23,120 per year, or $85,240 below Industrial Engineers.
2. Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has a location quotient of 3.63 in West Virginia, a gap of 3.12 from Industrial Engineers. BLS lists 7,830 jobs and a median of $51,300 per year, or $57,060 below Industrial Engineers.
3. Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses has a location quotient of 2.07 in West Virginia, a gap of 1.56 from Industrial Engineers. BLS lists 6,050 jobs and a median of $55,360 per year, or $53,000 below Industrial Engineers.
Price-level view
What $108,360 may mean after the West Virginia price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for West Virginia is 89.5. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 10.5% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $108,360 Industrial Engineers median by 89.5 divided by 100. The result is $121,077 in national-price dollars per year. This proxy keeps the math clear. It is not take-home pay and does not set a move target.
Housing is 54.2. Goods are 96.5. Utilities are 92.2. Other services are 99.9. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Industrial Engineers row is 7.2%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.4%. RSE means relative standard error. It is a survey precision flag. A smaller value often means less sampling uncertainty. It is not the chance that one person's pay is right or wrong.
The employment RSE belongs to the 850 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $116,340 mean. BLS does not give the same RSE field for the median or every percentile. WageScope does not move an RSE from one field to another.
A local row can change in a new release. A small role-place sample can also have more survey uncertainty than a broad national row. Keep the May 2025 date next to the value. Do not mix a newer job post with the BLS date as if both facts came from one clock.
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Industrial Engineers. It uses a West Virginia place filter only when the public place list has an exact approved match. If that match is not safe, the page says the jobs are not narrowed to this place. A false negative is safer than showing a different role.
Each card keeps its employer, place, source, and seen date. Listings can change between visits while the survey figures stay tied to their release date. A listing range does not replace the $108,360 BLS median. The listing and survey answer different questions.
Open one listing. Check its level, work place, pay range, and needs. Then tailor with work facts you can support. Do not turn a wage, job count, rank, or price proxy into a résumé claim. The public page is read only. It does not save a job or start a draft on load.
What the Industrial Engineers row for West Virginia does not claim
The row does not say what one person earns. It does not promise a job, offer, raise, or move result. It does not say why the local median differs from the U.S. row. It does not add tips, bonus pay, stock, benefits, taxes, or work hours unless those items are in the BLS wage measure.
The 850 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.51 is not a growth score. Rank 14 of 52 is not a place score. The 89.5 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 17-2112 in BLS area 54. Compare the same metric with the state and U.S. rows. Add the separate 2024 price level when present. Inspect a dated job match. Then use confirmed work facts for a résumé.
BLS published an employment estimate of 850 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. MeritLog shows eligible live public-catalog listings separately, with their own source and observation date. Posted pay never changes the official BLS distribution.
