New Wage Data Show Cincinnati Behind U.S

Workers in the Cincinnati metro area had an hourly wage about 3 percent less than the national average, with all but three major occupational fields below the national average of wages according to a recent Cincinnati Enquirer article based on data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. One of the three groups with higher wages, however, is construction and extraction.
