Kern County covers a huge area, and the metro's 927,068 residents are spread between Bakersfield, Delano, and farm and oil-field towns that can be an hour or more apart. Transportation and warehousing employs 20,186 people, with distribution centers along the valley's main freeway corridor that need scrubber work, dock sweeping, and dust control. Health care is the largest employing sector, with 10 hospitals and medical offices concentrated in Bakersfield. Dust from fields and construction settles on every surface, and summer heat makes restroom and break-room upkeep more demanding. Janitor pay is relatively high for the Central Valley, with a median of $18.81 an hour, reflecting California wage levels. At that wage, we set frequency zone by zone.

What this means when you scope a building

  • Transportation and warehousing employs 20,186 people in the metro. Distribution sites need ride-on scrubbing and dust control on a set calendar.
  • Field and construction dust settles quickly; add vents, ledges, and electronics to a monthly high-dusting list.
  • Delano and outlying towns are far from central Bakersfield and run as a separate route.
  • With California wage levels, separating warehouse floor care from office cleaning makes it easier to see and adjust where labor goes.
