The middle half of the Irrigation Technician reference on the Muncie, IN hub wage distribution runs from $35,340 to $42,420, a width of $7,080 per year; that spread shows how much published pay varies within the occupation and area, without assigning experience levels.

Those Irrigation Technician reference on the Muncie, IN hub industry comparisons are national cross-sections, not local industry estimates; BLS does not give us a metro-by-industry wage cut here, and overlapping industry groups should not be added together.

The Irrigation Technician reference on the Muncie, IN hub median was $34,920 per year in May 2024, compared with $37,210 in May 2025, a published difference of $2,290.
