The Indy 500 is far more competitive than the wages for project management professionals in Indiana. Among the few good options for competitive pay is transportation, storage, and distribution management in Lafayette, Terre Haute, and Evansville, with salaries ranging from $86,000 to $92,000 per year. The numbers dip significantly for construction managers, whose annual earnings are $64,000 in Bloomington and $68,000 in Terre Haute. Proximity to the greater Chicago area is beneficial, since most project management jobs are in the Chicago-Joliet-Naperville metropolitan area.
