WageScope divides the published Bartenders median by the BEA all-items index. This is a price-level comparison, not take-home pay, a personal budget, or a quality-of-life score.
Use the local pay range, same-source bench marks, job scale, price level, and survey care marks as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 35-3011 and BLS area 30460.

756,390
1.3%
Lexington-Fayette, KY was 10.8% below the U.S. median for Bartenders. It ranked 186 of 391 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Bartenders median says in Lexington-Fayette, KY
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Bartenders median in Lexington-Fayette, KY at $30,640 per year. Median means the middle of the published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. It is not a job offer. The row is tied to SOC 35-3011 and BLS area 30460.
BLS lists 1,340 wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate. It is not a count of open posts. The local mean is $36,730 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Lexington-Fayette, KY's Bartenders median is 10.8% below the U.S. Bartenders median of $34,340 on the same published median. The comparison uses the same SOC code and source period. It does not add price levels, taxes, benefits, hours, or a person's work history.
Exact source record
Read source key 35-3011 with area 30460
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 35-3011 and area 30460. SOC 35-3011 names Bartenders. Area 30460 names Lexington-Fayette, KY. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 35-3011/30460 row reports 1,340 wage and salary jobs, 4.66 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.96 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 35-3011/30460, the annual median is $30,640 per year, while the matching mean is $36,730 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
35-3011/30460 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.
Place source check
BLS area 30460 facts behind this Bartenders page
Area 30460 reports 286,910 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $62,210. Its annual median is $48,620. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.4%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 35-3011 row.

The source rows below are the six largest detailed roles in the bounded area file. Each keeps its own SOC code. They help a reader spot-check area 30460. They do not show related skills or a path into Bartenders.
1. Area 30460, SOC 51-2090, Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators: 8,650 jobs, $59,730 annual median, 30.15 jobs per 1,000, and 3.34 location quotient.

A percentile is a rank point, not a career stage. The 10th percentile does not mean new-worker pay. The 90th percentile does not mean a wage that comes after a set number of years. The points show how the wage values spread in the source. They do not say why one job sits at one point.
The middle half runs from $17,670 per year to $47,540 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $47,280. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare Lexington-Fayette, KY with its state and the U.S.
Lexington-Fayette, KY has a annual median of $30,640 per year. Kentucky has $28,780 per year. The U.S. row has $34,340 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Lexington-Fayette, KY is 6.5% above Kentucky on the same published median. Lexington-Fayette, KY is 10.8% below the United States on the same published median. A gap can reflect many things that are not in this row. WageScope reports the gap but does not name a cause.
The state and U.S. rows are bench marks, not replacements. They do not fill missing local facts. A state can hold many local labor markets. A national row can hold many states. Read the local row first, then use the broader rows to see scale.
Like-for-like rank
Where Lexington-Fayette, KY sits for Bartenders
Lexington-Fayette, KY ranks 186 of 391 among metro areas with a published annual median for Bartenders. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 186 of 391 is not a place score. A small wage gap can move a row several spots. The rank does not add local prices, job count, concentration, commute, taxes, or work rules. Use it only to find where the published median falls inside this like-for-like set.
The nearby rows below are the closest ranks, not chosen cities. Their pay, job counts, and local shares can differ. Open a peer page before making a deeper comparison. A title and one number are not enough for a move or pay choice.
183. Charleston, WV has a Bartenders median of $30,900 per year, 350 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.7.
184. Toledo, OH has a Bartenders median of $30,820 per year, 1,480 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.05.
185. Lincoln, NE has a Bartenders median of $30,660 per year, 1,110 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.25.

Pay leaders
Where Bartenders medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 35-3011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has the highest published median in this set, at $86,280 per year. Lexington-Fayette, KY sits at $30,640 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Bartenders is in the local mix. It also does not add local prices. The bullets keep the median, job count, and location quotient together so a high wage is not read as a full market score.
Use this list to choose a deeper pair, not to choose a place. Open the two local pages. Check the full wage ladder, the job scale, the survey care marks, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has a Bartenders median of $86,280 per year, or $55,640 above Lexington-Fayette, KY. BLS lists 800 jobs there, compared with 1,340 in Lexington-Fayette, KY. The location quotient is 2.22.
2. Urban Honolulu, HI has a Bartenders median of $75,340 per year, or $44,700 above Lexington-Fayette, KY. BLS lists 2,130 jobs there, compared with 1,340 in Lexington-Fayette, KY. The location quotient is 0.98.
3. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has a Bartenders median of $61,220 per year, or $30,580 above Lexington-Fayette, KY. BLS lists 38,510 jobs there, compared with 1,340 in Lexington-Fayette, KY. The location quotient is 0.83.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Bartenders jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Bartenders in this same-source set, at 38,510 jobs. Lexington-Fayette, KY has 1,340. The count shows covered job scale, not open posts.
A large job base can have a lower median than a smaller one. It can also have a location quotient near or below 1. That is why WageScope does not blend job count, pay, and local share. Each field keeps its name and unit. The rows below let you compare all three without making one score.
Current MeritLog listings can add a dated view of employer-title matches. They do not change this May 2025 order. A place with few current cards can still have a large BLS job estimate. A place with several cards can still have a smaller estimate. The sources use different clocks and scopes.
1. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 38,510 estimated Bartenders jobs, a gap of 37,170 jobs from Lexington-Fayette, KY. Its median is $61,220 per year, or $30,580 above Lexington-Fayette, KY. Its location quotient is 0.83.
2. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has 28,750 estimated Bartenders jobs, a gap of 27,410 jobs from Lexington-Fayette, KY. Its median is $31,200 per year, or $560 above Lexington-Fayette, KY. Its location quotient is 1.31.
3. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 25,260 estimated Bartenders jobs, a gap of 23,920 jobs from Lexington-Fayette, KY. Its median is $35,510 per year, or $4,870 above Lexington-Fayette, KY. Its location quotient is 0.83.
Local-share leaders
Where Bartenders takes the largest share of local jobs
Sandusky, OH has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 2.92. Lexington-Fayette, KY has 0.96. A value above 1 means the role's local job share is larger than its national share.
A high quotient can come from a small local job base. It does not prove more jobs, more posts, faster growth, or higher pay. The bullets keep each quotient beside its BLS job count and median. This lets a reader see when the three measures point in different ways.
Use this list to ask where Bartenders is a large part of the local mix. Use the employment list to ask where BLS counts the most jobs. Use the pay list to ask where the median is highest. None of those lists decides where a person should work.
1. Sandusky, OH has a location quotient of 2.92, a gap of 1.96 from Lexington-Fayette, KY. BLS lists 710 Bartenders jobs and a median of $30,130 per year, or $510 below Lexington-Fayette, KY.
2. La Crosse-Onalaska, WI-MN has a location quotient of 2.91, a gap of 1.95 from Lexington-Fayette, KY. BLS lists 1,200 Bartenders jobs and a median of $23,130 per year, or $7,510 below Lexington-Fayette, KY.
3. Johnstown, PA has a location quotient of 2.81, a gap of 1.85 from Lexington-Fayette, KY. BLS lists 650 Bartenders jobs and a median of $21,930 per year, or $8,710 below Lexington-Fayette, KY.
Job scale and share
How common Bartenders is in Lexington-Fayette, KY
BLS lists 1,340 Bartenders jobs in Lexington-Fayette, KY. It also lists 4.66 jobs per 1,000 local jobs. Jobs per 1,000 turns the count into a rate. It helps compare places of different size. It does not show open posts or hiring speed.
The location quotient is 0.96. A value of 1 means Bartenders has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is the same than 1. The quotient is a share check, not a wage or a growth measure.
Read the three values as separate facts. Employment asks how many covered jobs BLS estimated. Jobs per 1,000 asks how much of the local job base the role takes. Location quotient asks how that share compares with the national share. None of them tells you how many posts are open today.
Local job mix
Bartenders beside other roles in Lexington-Fayette, KY
The all-occupations median in Lexington-Fayette, KY is $48,620 per year. The Bartenders median is $30,640 per year. Bartenders is 37.0% below the local all-occupations median on the same published median. This compares one role with the full covered job mix.
The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Lexington-Fayette, KY. They are close by wage, not by task. A small wage gap does not mean two jobs need the same skill or lead to the same career. Official titles keep their own SOC codes and source rows.
Use the list to spot the local wage mix around Bartenders. Then open the role page you mean. A role can have a similar median and a very different job count or local share. The pay number alone cannot show fit, demand, or a path between jobs.
1. Retail Salespersons, SOC 41-2031, has a Lexington-Fayette, KY median of $30,100 per year. BLS lists 7,810 jobs and a location quotient of 1.09.
2. Cashiers, SOC 41-2011, has a Lexington-Fayette, KY median of $29,590 per year. BLS lists 5,250 jobs and a location quotient of 0.92.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Lexington-Fayette, KY
Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Lexington-Fayette, KY table, at 8,650 jobs. Bartenders has 1,340 jobs in its exact role-place row. The two counts show where this role sits beside other large parts of the local job base.
The all-occupations job count is 286,910. The detailed list below is only a bounded view of that larger mix. It does not sum to every local job. It does not include a blank role as zero. It helps explain why one role's wage and job count should not stand in for the whole area.
A large role can have a lower median. A smaller role can have a higher one. Job count does not show current posts, job quality, or growth. Use the list to see local scale. Then keep Bartenders's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has 8,650 jobs in Lexington-Fayette, KY, a gap of 7,310 from Bartenders. Its median is $59,730 per year, or $29,090 above Bartenders. Its location quotient is 3.34.
2. General and Operations Managers has 8,100 jobs in Lexington-Fayette, KY, a gap of 6,760 from Bartenders. Its median is $80,440 per year, or $49,800 above Bartenders. Its location quotient is 1.25.
3. Registered Nurses has 8,070 jobs in Lexington-Fayette, KY, a gap of 6,730 from Bartenders. Its median is $79,040 per year, or $48,400 above Bartenders. Its location quotient is 1.29.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Lexington-Fayette, KY
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Lexington-Fayette, KY role table, at $80,440 per year. Bartenders has $30,640 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,620 per year. A role above that mark is not better. A role below it is not worse. The mark only shows where the role's published median sits against the full covered job mix. Job tasks, level, hours, and work setting are separate facts.
The bullets keep each SOC title, job count, median, and local share together. Use them to find a role page worth opening. Do not use a close median as proof that two roles share skills or that one is a path to the other.
1. General and Operations Managers has a median of $80,440 per year in Lexington-Fayette, KY, or $49,800 above Bartenders. BLS lists 8,100 jobs, compared with 1,340 for Bartenders. Its location quotient is 1.25.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $79,040 per year in Lexington-Fayette, KY, or $48,400 above Bartenders. BLS lists 8,070 jobs, compared with 1,340 for Bartenders. Its location quotient is 1.29.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Lexington-Fayette, KY
Animal Caretakers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Lexington-Fayette, KY role table, at 4.88. Bartenders has 0.96. Both values compare a local job share with the matching national share.
A quotient above 1 means the role takes a larger share of local jobs than it does across the nation. It does not mean more jobs than every other role. It does not mean open posts, growth, or high pay. The job count and median beside each row answer those other narrow questions.
The local role-share mix can differ a lot from the pay mix. Read both lists. Then compare Bartenders with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Animal Caretakers has a location quotient of 4.88 in Lexington-Fayette, KY, a gap of 3.92 from Bartenders. BLS lists 2,400 jobs and a median of $34,590 per year, or $3,950 above Bartenders.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 3.34 in Lexington-Fayette, KY, a gap of 2.38 from Bartenders. BLS lists 8,650 jobs and a median of $59,730 per year, or $29,090 above Bartenders.
3. Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants has a location quotient of 2.59 in Lexington-Fayette, KY, a gap of 1.63 from Bartenders. BLS lists 4,600 jobs and a median of $44,450 per year, or $13,810 above Bartenders.
Price-level view
What $30,640 may mean after the Lexington-Fayette, KY price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Lexington-Fayette, KY is 92.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.1% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $30,640 Bartenders median by 92.9 divided by 100. The result is $32,986 in national-price dollars per year. This proxy keeps the math clear. It is not take-home pay and does not set a move target.
Housing is 77.1. Goods are 96.2. Utilities are 74.6. Other services are 96.9. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the Lexington-Fayette, KY row
The employment RSE for this Bartenders row is 7.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 5.5%. RSE means relative standard error. It is a survey precision flag. A smaller value often means less sampling uncertainty. It is not the chance that one person's pay is right or wrong.
The employment RSE belongs to the 1,340 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $36,730 mean. BLS does not give the same RSE field for the median or every percentile. WageScope does not move an RSE from one field to another.
A local row can change in a new release. A small role-place sample can also have more survey uncertainty than a broad national row. Keep the May 2025 date next to the value. Do not mix a newer job post with the BLS date as if both facts came from one clock.
Job and résumé path
Use Lexington-Fayette, KY wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Bartenders. It uses a Lexington-Fayette, KY place filter only when the public place list has an exact approved match. If that match is not safe, the page says the jobs are not narrowed to this place. A false negative is safer than showing a different role.
Each card keeps its employer, place, source, and seen date. Listings can change between visits while the survey figures stay tied to their release date. A listing range does not replace the $30,640 BLS median. The listing and survey answer different questions.
Open one listing. Check its level, work place, pay range, and needs. Then tailor with work facts you can support. Do not turn a wage, job count, rank, or price proxy into a résumé claim. The public page is read only. It does not save a job or start a draft on load.
Limits
What the Bartenders row for Lexington-Fayette, KY does not claim
The row does not say what one person earns. It does not promise a job, offer, raise, or move result. It does not say why the local median differs from the U.S. row. It does not add tips, bonus pay, stock, benefits, taxes, or work hours unless those items are in the BLS wage measure.
The 1,340 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.96 is not a growth score. Rank 186 of 391 is not a place score. The 92.9 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 35-3011 in BLS area 30460. Compare the same metric with the state and U.S. rows. Add the separate 2024 price level when present. Inspect a dated job match. Then use confirmed work facts for a résumé.
BLS published an employment estimate of 1,340 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. MeritLog shows eligible live public-catalog listings separately, with their own source and observation date. Posted pay never changes the official BLS distribution.
