According to the Department of Labor, www.lmi.state.oh.us, “Employment of industrial machinery mechanics and maintenance workers is expected to grow 7% from 2006 to 2016 about as fast as the average for all occupations. Industrial maintenance workers are not as affected by changes in production levels as other manufacturing workers. During slack periods, when some plant workers are laid off, mechanics are often retained to do major overhaul jobs and to keep expensive machinery in working order. In addition, replacing highly skilled and experienced industrial maintenance workers is quite difficult, which discourages layoffs. Applicants with broad skills in machine repair and maintenance should have favorable job prospects.”
According to the Department of Labor, “Median hourly wage-and-salary earnings of industrial machinery mechanics were $19.74 per hour in May 2006. The middle 50% earned between $15.87 and $24.46 per hour.”
