Introduction

This report reviews the results from the 2012 NTMA Wage & Fringe Benefit survey finalized in December, 2012. A total of 264 manufacturers participated in this survey, providing data on wages and benefits for hourly employees. This report presents detailed analyses of low, high, and average wage rates for each job title. Data is presented for NTMA precision tooling and machining companies by region, by company sales volume category and by line of business. Please note that the regional section presents data at the finest level of detail available, including states and chapters.

State and NTMA chapter data were broken out when there was a sufficient sample size. If a state or chapter that you are interested in is not listed, there were too few participants in that geographic area to support a statistically valid sample.

Please note that throughout the report, a blank designates data that are not available due to an inadequate sample size for a particular statistic.
