OEWS covers payroll employees only.
BLS publishes one series for SOC 47-1011, so the restoration crew lead salary page shows the same BLS figures; neither is an abatement supervisor-only number.
Annual figures are BLS hourly wages × 2,080 hours. OEWS covers wage-and-salary workers only, so it leaves out owners, the self-employed (including 1099 subcontractors), overtime pay and most bonuses.

Pay by employer industry
National median for all first-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers (SOC 47-1011) by the industry of the employer, BLS OEWS May 2025 industry estimates.
BLS publishes no industry split for abatement supervisors alone; these rows are for the whole occupation.
BLS publishes no separate line for remediation services (NAICS 562910).
Remediation and other waste management services also includes materials recovery and septic and other waste services, so that row is not restoration company pay.
| Employer industry | Median | Hourly | Jobs |
|---|---|---|---|
| All industries (the national figure above) | $79,920 | $38.42 | 812,210 |
| Remediation and Other Waste Management Services | $70,020 | $33.66 | 10,930 |
Selected industries only; the first row covers every industry.
Job outlook for First-Line Supervisors of Construction Trades and Extraction Workers
BLS projects employment of all first-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers to change from about 913,300 in 2025 to 959,400 in 2035 (BLS Employment Projections 2025–35).
BLS projects no separate figure for abatement supervisors.
The projection counts include the self-employed (11.2% of the group in 2025) and come from a different BLS program, so they are not directly comparable with the OEWS payroll job count above.
Pay by restoration role
BLS publishes wages by occupation, not job title, and no restoration title has an occupation of its own.
Asbestos and lead abatement workers are counted in hazardous materials removal workers, and abatement supervisors are benchmarked against first-line construction supervisors, both broader groups.
The other titles borrow the closest available occupation, labelled in the last column.
