Manufacturing hiring in Wisconsin: the current picture

There are 281 manufacturing openings in Wisconsin. Employers added at least 21 new manufacturing postings in Wisconsin in the past week.

Hiring is concentrated: Generac alone accounts for roughly 14% of open roles, with The AmeriLux Family of Companies and Oshkoshcorporation next in line. Green Bay has the deepest pool (25 openings), followed by Madison (21) and Milwaukee (21). Of postings that specify a schedule, 99% are full-time. 1 listings are remote-eligible — a small slice (about 1%) of the market.

Posted pay in Wisconsin runs below the national mix for manufacturing work: 8% of salaried postings here advertise $100K or more, versus 21% nationwide. The median posted salary is about $40,000 here, compared with roughly $58,000 across all states.

For context beyond current listings: the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the average annual wage for production occupations in Wisconsin at $52,000 (median $48,000) as of May 2025. Posted salaries on new openings here currently run below that benchmark — entry-level and high-turnover roles tend to dominate fresh postings. Source: BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics.
