High paying cleaning and grounds jobs in Vermont with no degree

The best paid cleaning and grounds occupations in Vermont that require no bachelor's degree — a high school diploma, a certificate, or an associate's degree is the typical entry. This is the narrowest cut on the site, so it is also the shortest list: where a field has only two or three such occupations, there is no page at all rather than a page pretending otherwise.

Cost of living: prices in Vermont run 2.0% below the national average (2024), so a Vermont salary is worth about 1.02× its face value in national terms. That scales every wage here by the same factor — it changes what the numbers mean, not their order. To see where a job pays a real premium, use jobs that pay more in Vermont.

Ranked among the occupations common enough to employ roughly one in every three thousand workers in Vermont. The rarer ones are real jobs — but a 1,190-person occupation at the top of a list answers a different question than the one most readers are asking.
