Machinists salary in District of Columbia
This is not a guess and it is not a job ad. It is the published BLS figure for machinists in District of Columbia, where the median was $72,900 a year. I keep the source on every page because a salary number without a source is just a story.

$35 per hour at the median · That is $14,150 (24.1 percent) above the national median of $58,750 for this occupation.
Salary range
| Measure | Annual |
|---|---|
| 25th percentile | $56,570 |
| Median (50th percentile) | $72,900 |
| 75th percentile | $72,900 |
| Mean | $73,260 |
The middle half of workers earned from $56,570 to $72,900 a year. Employment size matters too. A field with many workers in a state usually means more openings and more room to move employers without moving states. A small field can pay well but offer fewer ways in.
