High paying repair and maintenance jobs in Duluth, MN-WI

Every repair and maintenance occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Duluth, MN-WI. Read the percentile range, not just the median: the gap between the 10th and 90th inside a single repair and maintenance job is usually wider than the gap between two different ones, so where you land in a field matters more than which field you pick.

Cost of living: prices in Duluth, MN-WI run 11.2% below the national average (2024), so a Duluth, MN-WI salary is worth about 1.13× 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.
