High paying repair and maintenance jobs in Terre Haute, IN

Every repair and maintenance occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Terre Haute, IN. 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 Terre Haute, IN run 12.2% below the national average (2024), so a Terre Haute, IN salary is worth about 1.14× 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.
