What BLS wages cover: OEWS includes base rates, guaranteed pay, commissions and production incentives. It excludes on-call waiting or availability pay, overtime, shift differentials, nonproduction bonuses and benefits. The on-call exclusion covers time awaiting a call to work, not ordinary wages for hours actually worked. These are straight-time gross wages, not pure base salary or total compensation. Discuss per diem, travel and relocation separately. BLS pay-term definitions.

What the published rows say about Beckley, WV data center hiring

Prefabrication Shop Manager maps to Industrial Production Managers, SOC 11-3051. For Beckley, WV, the May 2025 OEWS annual median is $134,150; the middle half runs from $99,860 to $149,950.

Percentiles are not experience bands, and this distribution alone does not explain why individual workers earn different amounts.

The local median is $8,090 above the national $126,060 on the same annual basis. Both rows cover SOC 11-3051 in May 2025. This is a wage comparison, not a cost-of-living adjustment or evidence of a separate data center premium.
