A same-metric difference from the U.S. median is unavailable for this row. The row could not be ranked because the matching median was unavailable. 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 New Jersey was 108.8, or 8.8% above the national price level. Its housing index was 134.3.
National-price-dollar proxy
Not available
WageScope divides the published Broadcast Technicians 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 27-4012 and BLS area 34.
Questions, answered
Broadcast Technicians pay in New Jersey: common questions
What is the median wage for Broadcast Technicians in New Jersey?
BLS did not publish a median for Broadcast Technicians in New Jersey in the May 2025 OEWS release. WageScope does not substitute or infer the missing wage.
Is Broadcast Technicians pay higher in New Jersey than nationally?
BLS did not publish the same median metric needed to compare New Jersey with the United States.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in New Jersey?
No wage price proxy is available because BLS did not publish an exact local median. A top-coded bound is not an exact wage input. A BEA price index, when available, describes prices separately and cannot fill that wage gap.

What the Broadcast Technicians median says in New Jersey
BLS did not publish an exact median for Broadcast Technicians in New Jersey in the May 2025 OEWS release. The source display is Not published. WageScope does not borrow the U.S. wage, use a nearby place, or turn this gap into zero. The row stays tied to SOC 27-4012 and BLS area 34.
BLS lists 790 wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate, not a count of open posts. The mean display is Not published. A mean and a median are separate fields; one does not fill a gap in the other.
A local-to-national median gap cannot be computed from this row. The national source belongs to the United States and does not become New Jersey's wage. Any published percentile or job-count field below keeps its own scope, period, and source key.
Exact source record
Read source key 27-4012 with area 34
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 27-4012 and area 34. SOC 27-4012 names Broadcast Technicians. Area 34 names New Jersey. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 27-4012/34 row reports 790 wage and salary jobs, 0.18 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.36 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 27-4012/34, the annual median is Not published, while the matching mean is Not published. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.

Place source check
BLS area 34 facts behind this Broadcast Technicians page
Area 34 reports 4,285,720 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $78,040. Its annual median is $58,570. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 27-4012 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in New Jersey runs from $34,450 at the 10th percentile to $142,750 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $39,400. The median is $58,570. The 75th percentile is $96,720. This is a place check, not a pay range for Broadcast Technicians.
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 34. They do not show related skills or a path into Broadcast Technicians.
1. Area 34, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 117,080 jobs, $37,090 annual median, 27.32 jobs per 1,000, and 0.99 location quotient.
2. Area 34, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 107,680 jobs, $34,590 annual median, 25.13 jobs per 1,000, and 1.26 location quotient.
3. Area 34, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 97,230 jobs, $39,540 annual median, 22.69 jobs per 1,000, and 1.2 location quotient.
4. Area 34, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 93,730 jobs, $34,150 annual median, 21.87 jobs per 1,000, and 0.88 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the New Jersey wage ladder for Broadcast Technicians
The 10th percentile is Not published. The 25th percentile is Not published. The median is Not published. The 75th percentile is Not published. The 90th percentile is Not published.
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 Not published to Not published. The 10th-to-90th span is not available. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare New Jersey with its state and the U.S.
New Jersey has a annual median of Not published. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $59,570 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for New Jersey. New Jersey cannot be compared with the United States on the same published median. WageScope leaves that gap open. 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 New Jersey sits for Broadcast Technicians
New Jersey has no exact published median that can enter this Broadcast Technicians pay rank. WageScope leaves the rank open. It does not treat a missing or top-coded value as an exact amount, and it does not place this row at the bottom of a list.
Other states and territories may have exact medians in the same release. Those rows can be read on their own pages. They cannot establish a wage or a nearest wage neighbor for New Jersey without the missing local field.
Employment and local share remain separate source fields for SOC 27-4012. Neither field is a substitute for median pay. A job count does not say where a wage would rank, and a share measure does not set a pay floor or ceiling.
Pay leaders
Where Broadcast Technicians medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 27-4012, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. District of Columbia has the highest published median in this set, at $108,270 per year. New Jersey sits at Not published.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Broadcast Technicians 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. District of Columbia has a Broadcast Technicians median of $108,270 per year, or not available. BLS lists 290 jobs there, compared with 790 in New Jersey. The location quotient is 3.07.
2. New Hampshire has a Broadcast Technicians median of $81,150 per year, or not available. BLS lists 170 jobs there, compared with 790 in New Jersey. The location quotient is 1.85.
3. Pennsylvania has a Broadcast Technicians median of $80,470 per year, or not available. BLS lists 950 jobs there, compared with 790 in New Jersey. The location quotient is 1.15.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Broadcast Technicians jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Broadcast Technicians in this same-source set, at 2,340 jobs. New Jersey has 790. 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 2,340 estimated Broadcast Technicians jobs, a gap of 1,550 jobs from New Jersey. Its median is $72,800 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 0.95.
2. New York has 1,690 estimated Broadcast Technicians jobs, a gap of 900 jobs from New Jersey. Its median is $78,840 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 1.28.
3. Texas has 1,380 estimated Broadcast Technicians jobs, a gap of 590 jobs from New Jersey. Its median is $49,440 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 0.72.
Local-share leaders
Where Broadcast Technicians takes the largest share of local jobs
District of Columbia has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 3.07. New Jersey has 1.36. 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 Broadcast Technicians 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. District of Columbia has a location quotient of 3.07, a gap of 1.71 from New Jersey. BLS lists 290 Broadcast Technicians jobs and a median of $108,270 per year, or not available.
2. Connecticut has a location quotient of 3.04, a gap of 1.68 from New Jersey. BLS lists 700 Broadcast Technicians jobs and a median of $58,930 per year, or not available.
3. Colorado has a location quotient of 2.11, a gap of 0.75 from New Jersey. BLS lists 820 Broadcast Technicians jobs and a median of $74,040 per year, or not available.
4. New Hampshire has a location quotient of 1.85, a gap of 0.49 from New Jersey. BLS lists 170 Broadcast Technicians jobs and a median of $81,150 per year, or not available.
Job scale and share
How common Broadcast Technicians is in New Jersey
BLS lists 790 Broadcast Technicians jobs in New Jersey. It also lists 0.18 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 1.36. A value of 1 means Broadcast Technicians 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
Broadcast Technicians beside other roles in New Jersey
The all-occupations median in New Jersey is $58,570 per year. It covers the full local job mix and does not replace the missing exact Broadcast Technicians median. WageScope cannot calculate a same-unit wage gap from the role to that broader row.
No nearest-pay role list is shown for this row. Such a list needs an exact local median in the same wage unit. A title, employment count, or national wage cannot supply that missing input.
Other roles in New Jersey still have their own source pages. Use those pages for their own official estimates, with each SOC code and period intact. Do not infer common tasks, skills, career paths, or pay for Broadcast Technicians from another role's number.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in New Jersey
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded New Jersey table, at 117,080 jobs. Broadcast Technicians has 790 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 4,285,720. 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 Broadcast Technicians's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 117,080 jobs in New Jersey, a gap of 116,290 from Broadcast Technicians. Its median is $37,090 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 0.99.
2. Cashiers has 107,680 jobs in New Jersey, a gap of 106,890 from Broadcast Technicians. Its median is $34,590 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 1.26.
3. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 97,230 jobs in New Jersey, a gap of 96,440 from Broadcast Technicians. Its median is $39,540 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 1.2.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around New Jersey
Computer and Information Systems Managers has the highest published median in the bounded New Jersey role table, at $203,460 per year. Broadcast Technicians has Not published. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $58,570 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. Computer and Information Systems Managers has a median of $203,460 per year in New Jersey, or not available. BLS lists 34,470 jobs, compared with 790 for Broadcast Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.87.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $173,690 per year in New Jersey, or not available. BLS lists 53,000 jobs, compared with 790 for Broadcast Technicians. Its location quotient is 0.55.
3. Software Developers has a median of $135,940 per year in New Jersey, or not available. BLS lists 51,570 jobs, compared with 790 for Broadcast Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.11.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in New Jersey
Packers and Packagers, Hand has the highest location quotient in the bounded New Jersey role table, at 4.62. Broadcast Technicians has 1.36. 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 Broadcast Technicians with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Packers and Packagers, Hand has a location quotient of 4.62 in New Jersey, a gap of 3.26 from Broadcast Technicians. BLS lists 71,260 jobs and a median of $43,840 per year, or not available.
2. Computer and Information Systems Managers has a location quotient of 1.87 in New Jersey, a gap of 0.51 from Broadcast Technicians. BLS lists 34,470 jobs and a median of $203,460 per year, or not available.
3. Receptionists and Information Clerks has a location quotient of 1.68 in New Jersey, a gap of 0.32 from Broadcast Technicians. BLS lists 42,060 jobs and a median of $41,650 per year, or not available.
Price-level view
Why a wage price proxy is unavailable in New Jersey
No national-price-dollar wage proxy is available for Broadcast Technicians in New Jersey because BLS did not publish the exact median needed for that math. A missing or top-coded median is not zero and is not an exact wage input.
BEA separately published a 2024 all-items price index of 108.8 for New Jersey. The U.S. level is 100. This source can describe broad local prices, but it cannot supply the missing BLS wage for SOC 27-4012.
A price-level wage calculation needs a published wage in the correct unit and an exact reviewed price-area match. Until both inputs exist, WageScope leaves that answer open. Published employment, source dates, and wage-status fields remain useful on their own without an inferred spending-power claim.
Data care
How much care to use with the New Jersey row
The employment RSE for this Broadcast Technicians row is 32.7%. The mean-wage RSE is Not published. 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 790 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the Not published 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 New Jersey wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Broadcast Technicians. It uses a New Jersey 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 Not published 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 Broadcast Technicians row for New Jersey 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 790 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.36 is not a growth score. The unranked row is not a place score. The 108.8 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 27-4012 in BLS area 34. 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 790 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.
