High paying repair and maintenance jobs in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA

Every repair and maintenance occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. 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 Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA run 13.6% above the national average (2024), so a Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA salary is worth about 0.88× its face value in national terms.
