High paying construction jobs in Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH with no degree

The best paid construction occupations in Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH 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 Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH run 7.3% below the national average (2024), so a Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH salary is worth about 1.08× its face value in national terms. That scales every wage here by the same factor — it changes what the numbers mean, not their order.

Local wage estimates are suppressed more often than state ones — BLS withholds any figure too few local employers report — so an occupation missing here simply has no published local estimate.
