What the published rows say about Kankakee, IL data center hiring
Business Development Director, Data Center maps to Sales Managers, SOC 11-2022. For Kankakee, IL, the May 2025 OEWS annual median is $135,330; the middle half runs from $90,450 to $192,680. This is a broader occupation, not a separate wage estimate for this exact job. BLS does not separate seniority titles that share this row. Define decision authority and the scope of the team or account before setting the offer. The occupation estimate does not separately price your site's responsibilities.
The middle-half spread is $102,230: $44,880 from the 25th percentile to the median and $57,350 from the median to the 75th. The upper interval is wider. Use these points to compare an offer, not to price a junior or senior hire. Percentiles are not experience bands, and this distribution alone does not explain why individual workers earn different amounts.
The local median is $12,940 below the national $148,270 on the same annual basis. Both rows cover SOC 11-2022 in May 2025. This is a wage comparison, not a cost-of-living adjustment or evidence of a separate data center premium.
