Wage benchmarking is where state-level data earns its keep. The average annual compensation for Building Equipment Contractors employees in Georgia is $69,746/yr, versus a national average of $75,980/yr. Georgia pays below the national average for this industry, common in lower cost-of-living states or where the industry has a smaller, less specialized local workforce.
Profitability data is only available at the national level because the IRS Statistics of Income program does not publish state-level margin breakdowns.
