Rhode Island was 6.0% above the U.S. median for Bartenders. It ranked 20 of 54 state areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
Price-level context
What the local median may buy
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Rhode Island was 102.3, or 2.3% above the national price level. Its housing index was 105.6.
National-price-dollar proxy

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 44.
Questions, answered
Bartenders pay in Rhode Island: common questions
What is the median wage for Bartenders in Rhode Island?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $36,410 per year for Bartenders in Rhode Island. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Bartenders pay higher in Rhode Island than nationally?
Rhode Island's published median was 6.0% above the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.

Pick an eligible listing, then MeritLog can help you prepare from experience you have confirmed. WageScope never turns a BLS estimate into a qualification or résumé claim.
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Bartenders median in Rhode Island at $36,410 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 44.
BLS lists 3,170 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 $46,090 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Rhode Island's Bartenders median is 6.0% above 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 44
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 35-3011 and area 44. SOC 35-3011 names Bartenders. Area 44 names Rhode Island. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 35-3011/44 row reports 3,170 wage and salary jobs, 6.32 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.3 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 35-3011/44, the annual median is $36,410 per year, while the matching mean is $46,090 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
35-3011/44 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.
Place source check
BLS area 44 facts behind this Bartenders page
Area 44 reports 501,340 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $71,900. Its annual median is $56,780. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 35-3011 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Rhode Island runs from $32,470 at the 10th percentile to $128,120 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $39,780. The median is $56,780. The 75th percentile is $85,200. This is a place check, not a pay range for Bartenders.
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 44. They do not show related skills or a path into Bartenders.
1. Area 44, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 13,310 jobs, $31,490 annual median, 26.55 jobs per 1,000, and 1.07 location quotient.
2. Area 44, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 12,830 jobs, $34,860 annual median, 25.6 jobs per 1,000, and 1.02 location quotient.
3. Area 44, SOC 31-1131, Nursing Assistants: 10,220 jobs, $46,440 annual median, 20.38 jobs per 1,000, and 2.19 location quotient.
4. Area 44, SOC 35-3031, Waiters and Waitresses: 10,160 jobs, $35,420 annual median, 20.27 jobs per 1,000, and 1.39 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Rhode Island wage ladder for Bartenders
The 10th percentile is $31,200 per year. The 25th percentile is $31,200 per year. The median is $36,410 per year. The 75th percentile is $57,210 per year. The 90th percentile is $76,320 per year.
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 $31,200 per year to $57,210 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $45,120. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare Rhode Island with its state and the U.S.
Rhode Island has a annual median of $36,410 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $34,340 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Rhode Island. Rhode Island is 6.0% above 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 Rhode Island sits for Bartenders
Rhode Island ranks 20 of 54 among states and territories 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 20 of 54 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.
17. Delaware has a Bartenders median of $36,840 per year, 2,820 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.19.
18. Michigan has a Bartenders median of $36,780 per year, 21,100 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.98.
19. North Carolina has a Bartenders median of $36,470 per year, 20,070 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.83.
21. California has a Bartenders median of $36,220 per year, 71,470 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.81.
22. Florida has a Bartenders median of $35,150 per year, 55,170 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.14.
Pay leaders
Where Bartenders medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 35-3011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Hawaii has the highest published median in this set, at $76,490 per year. Rhode Island sits at $36,410 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. Hawaii has a Bartenders median of $76,490 per year, or $40,080 above Rhode Island. BLS lists 3,540 jobs there, compared with 3,170 in Rhode Island. The location quotient is 1.16.
2. Virgin Islands (territory) has a Bartenders median of $61,380 per year, or $24,970 above Rhode Island. BLS lists 490 jobs there, compared with 3,170 in Rhode Island. The location quotient is 3.13.
3. New York has a Bartenders median of $61,210 per year, or $24,800 above Rhode Island. BLS lists 43,130 jobs there, compared with 3,170 in Rhode Island. The location quotient is 0.92.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Bartenders jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Bartenders in this same-source set, at 71,470 jobs. Rhode Island has 3,170. 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. California has 71,470 estimated Bartenders jobs, a gap of 68,300 jobs from Rhode Island. Its median is $36,220 per year, or $190 below Rhode Island. Its location quotient is 0.81.
2. Texas has 59,000 estimated Bartenders jobs, a gap of 55,830 jobs from Rhode Island. Its median is $22,690 per year, or $13,720 below Rhode Island. Its location quotient is 0.86.
3. Florida has 55,170 estimated Bartenders jobs, a gap of 52,000 jobs from Rhode Island. Its median is $35,150 per year, or $1,260 below Rhode Island. Its location quotient is 1.14.
Local-share leaders
Where Bartenders takes the largest share of local jobs
Virgin Islands (territory) has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 3.13. Rhode Island has 1.3. 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. Virgin Islands (territory) has a location quotient of 3.13, a gap of 1.83 from Rhode Island. BLS lists 490 Bartenders jobs and a median of $61,380 per year, or $24,970 above Rhode Island.
2. Nevada has a location quotient of 2.23, a gap of 0.93 from Rhode Island. BLS lists 16,830 Bartenders jobs and a median of $27,460 per year, or $8,950 below Rhode Island.
3. Montana has a location quotient of 2.16, a gap of 0.86 from Rhode Island. BLS lists 5,370 Bartenders jobs and a median of $26,010 per year, or $10,400 below Rhode Island.
4. Wisconsin has a location quotient of 2.06, a gap of 0.76 from Rhode Island. BLS lists 29,520 Bartenders jobs and a median of $23,460 per year, or $12,950 below Rhode Island.
Job scale and share
How common Bartenders is in Rhode Island
BLS lists 3,170 Bartenders jobs in Rhode Island. It also lists 6.32 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 1.3. A value of 1 means Bartenders has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is higher 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 Rhode Island
The all-occupations median in Rhode Island is $56,780 per year. The Bartenders median is $36,410 per year. Bartenders is 35.9% 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 Rhode Island. 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. Stockers and Order Fillers, SOC 53-7065, has a Rhode Island median of $36,470 per year. BLS lists 6,660 jobs and a location quotient of 0.73.
2. Cooks, Restaurant, SOC 35-2014, has a Rhode Island median of $36,510 per year. BLS lists 6,950 jobs and a location quotient of 1.53.
3. Teaching Assistants, Except Postsecondary, SOC 25-9045, has a Rhode Island median of $37,220 per year. BLS lists 5,200 jobs and a location quotient of 1.14.
4. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners, SOC 37-2011, has a Rhode Island median of $37,310 per year. BLS lists 7,270 jobs and a location quotient of 1.02.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Rhode Island
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Rhode Island table, at 13,310 jobs. Bartenders has 3,170 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 501,340. 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. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 13,310 jobs in Rhode Island, a gap of 10,140 from Bartenders. Its median is $31,490 per year, or $4,920 below Bartenders. Its location quotient is 1.07.
2. Retail Salespersons has 12,830 jobs in Rhode Island, a gap of 9,660 from Bartenders. Its median is $34,860 per year, or $1,550 below Bartenders. Its location quotient is 1.02.
3. Nursing Assistants has 10,220 jobs in Rhode Island, a gap of 7,050 from Bartenders. Its median is $46,440 per year, or $10,030 above Bartenders. Its location quotient is 2.19.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Rhode Island
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Rhode Island role table, at $130,590 per year. Bartenders has $36,410 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $56,780 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. Software Developers has a median of $130,590 per year in Rhode Island, or $94,180 above Bartenders. BLS lists 5,070 jobs, compared with 3,170 for Bartenders. Its location quotient is 0.93.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $117,380 per year in Rhode Island, or $80,970 above Bartenders. BLS lists 9,150 jobs, compared with 3,170 for Bartenders. Its location quotient is 0.81.
3. Project Management Specialists has a median of $104,680 per year in Rhode Island, or $68,270 above Bartenders. BLS lists 3,880 jobs, compared with 3,170 for Bartenders. Its location quotient is 1.13.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Rhode Island
Nursing Assistants has the highest location quotient in the bounded Rhode Island role table, at 2.19. Bartenders has 1.3. 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. Nursing Assistants has a location quotient of 2.19 in Rhode Island, a gap of 0.89 from Bartenders. BLS lists 10,220 jobs and a median of $46,440 per year, or $10,030 above Bartenders.
2. Cooks, Restaurant has a location quotient of 1.53 in Rhode Island, a gap of 0.23 from Bartenders. BLS lists 6,950 jobs and a median of $36,510 per year, or $100 above Bartenders.
3. Receptionists and Information Clerks has a location quotient of 1.45 in Rhode Island, a gap of 0.15 from Bartenders. BLS lists 4,270 jobs and a median of $42,620 per year, or $6,210 above Bartenders.
Price-level view
What $36,410 may mean after the Rhode Island price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Rhode Island is 102.3. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 2.3% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $36,410 Bartenders median by 102.3 divided by 100. The result is $35,598 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 105.6. Goods are 97.2. Utilities are 146.7. Other services are 102.8. 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 Rhode Island row
The employment RSE for this Bartenders row is 13.3%. The mean-wage RSE is 5.4%. 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 3,170 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $46,090 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 Rhode Island wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Bartenders. It uses a Rhode Island 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 $36,410 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 Rhode Island 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 3,170 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.3 is not a growth score. Rank 20 of 54 is not a place score. The 102.3 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 44. 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.
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.
