Wage benchmarking is where state-level data earns its keep. The average annual compensation for Child Day Care Services employees in Ohio is $25,966/yr, versus a national average of $29,695/yr. Ohio 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.
