Common questions
How much do first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers make?
The median salary for first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers in the United States is $49,100 a year, which is $23.61 an hour. The mean is $53,320. Median and mean differ because a small number of very high earners pull the mean upward, so the median is the better answer to what the job typically pays.
What is the highest salary for a first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial worker?
The highest-paid 10 percent of first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers earn $76,430 or more. That is the highest figure the survey publishes for this occupation; there is no reported maximum, and individual earnings above it are not broken out.
How many people work as first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers in the US?
178,760, as of the May 2025 release. That covers wage and salary workers in nonfarm establishments and excludes the self-employed, who are not surveyed.
How much do first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers make a month?
About $4,092 a month before tax, which is the published annual median of $49,100 divided by twelve. BLS publishes annual and hourly wages rather than monthly, so treat this as arithmetic on the annual figure, not a separate measurement.
Do first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers make $100,000 a year?
Rarely, on the published data. Even the best-paid 10 percent earn $76,430 or more against a median of $49,100, so a $100,000 figure usually involves overtime, self-employment (which this survey does not cover), or a move into a different role.
