Niles, MI was 3.5% below the U.S. median for Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. It ranked 225 of 388 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median says in Niles, MI
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median in Niles, MI at $59,590 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 49-3031 and BLS area 35660.
BLS lists 90 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 $58,800 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Niles, MI's Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median is 3.5% below the U.S. Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median of $61,770 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 49-3031 with area 35660
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 49-3031 and area 35660. SOC 49-3031 names Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. Area 35660 names Niles, MI. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 49-3031/35660 row reports 90 wage and salary jobs, 1.45 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.78 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 49-3031/35660, the annual median is $59,590 per year, while the matching mean is $58,800 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
49-3031/35660 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.

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 35660. They do not show related skills or a path into Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists.
1. Area 35660, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 1,670 jobs, $27,740 annual median, 27.85 jobs per 1,000, and 1.12 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 $53,970 per year to $63,600 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $33,620. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare Niles, MI with its state and the U.S.
Niles, MI has a annual median of $59,590 per year. Michigan has $61,420 per year. The U.S. row has $61,770 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Niles, MI is 3.0% below Michigan on the same published median. Niles, MI is 3.5% 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 Niles, MI sits for Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists
Niles, MI ranks 225 of 388 among metro areas with a published annual median for Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 225 of 388 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.
222. Binghamton, NY has a Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median of $59,760 per year, 230 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.25.
223. Sheboygan, WI has a Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median of $59,760 per year, 110 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.99.
224. Homosassa Springs, FL has a Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median of $59,680 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.71.
226. Lincoln, NE has a Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median of $59,570 per year, 410 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.21.
Pay leaders
Where Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 49-3031, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has the highest published median in this set, at $88,980 per year. Niles, MI sits at $59,590 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists 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. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median of $88,980 per year, or $29,390 above Niles, MI. BLS lists 720 jobs there, compared with 90 in Niles, MI. The location quotient is 0.34.
2. Urban Honolulu, HI has a Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median of $85,040 per year, or $25,450 above Niles, MI. BLS lists 540 jobs there, compared with 90 in Niles, MI. The location quotient is 0.65.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists in this same-source set, at 12,430 jobs. Niles, MI has 90. 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 12,430 estimated Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists jobs, a gap of 12,340 jobs from Niles, MI. Its median is $75,780 per year, or $16,190 above Niles, MI. Its location quotient is 0.7.
2. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has 8,660 estimated Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists jobs, a gap of 8,570 jobs from Niles, MI. Its median is $65,680 per year, or $6,090 above Niles, MI. Its location quotient is 1.03.
Local-share leaders
Where Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists takes the largest share of local jobs
Laredo, TX has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 3.7. Niles, MI has 0.78. 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 Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists 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. Laredo, TX has a location quotient of 3.7, a gap of 2.92 from Niles, MI. BLS lists 760 Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists jobs and a median of $48,270 per year, or $11,320 below Niles, MI.
2. Savannah, GA has a location quotient of 3.4, a gap of 2.62 from Niles, MI. BLS lists 1,260 Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists jobs and a median of $72,770 per year, or $13,180 above Niles, MI.
3. Odessa, TX has a location quotient of 2.76, a gap of 1.98 from Niles, MI. BLS lists 420 Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists jobs and a median of $61,560 per year, or $1,970 above Niles, MI.
Job scale and share
How common Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists is in Niles, MI
BLS lists 90 Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists jobs in Niles, MI. It also lists 1.45 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 0.78. A value of 1 means Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is lower 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
Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists beside other roles in Niles, MI
The all-occupations median in Niles, MI is $45,980 per year. The Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median is $59,590 per year. Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists is 29.6% above 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 Niles, MI. 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 Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. 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. Elementary School Teachers, Except Special Education, SOC 25-2021, has a Niles, MI median of $60,760 per year. BLS lists 750 jobs and a location quotient of 1.41.
2. Machinists, SOC 51-4041, has a Niles, MI median of $50,430 per year. BLS lists 530 jobs and a location quotient of 4.81.
3. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers, SOC 53-3032, has a Niles, MI median of $48,780 per year. BLS lists 640 jobs and a location quotient of 0.81.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Niles, MI
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Niles, MI table, at 1,670 jobs. Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists has 90 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 59,970. 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 Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 1,670 jobs in Niles, MI, a gap of 1,580 from Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. Its median is $27,740 per year, or $31,850 below Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. Its location quotient is 1.12.
2. Cashiers has 1,610 jobs in Niles, MI, a gap of 1,520 from Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. Its median is $29,550 per year, or $30,040 below Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. Its location quotient is 1.35.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Niles, MI
Mechanical Engineers has the highest published median in the bounded Niles, MI role table, at $106,320 per year. Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists has $59,590 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $45,980 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. Mechanical Engineers has a median of $106,320 per year in Niles, MI, or $46,730 above Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. BLS lists 550 jobs, compared with 90 for Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. Its location quotient is 4.84.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $85,850 per year in Niles, MI, or $26,260 above Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. BLS lists 1,100 jobs, compared with 90 for Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. Its location quotient is 0.82.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Niles, MI
Mechanical Engineers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Niles, MI role table, at 4.84. Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists has 0.78. 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 Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Mechanical Engineers has a location quotient of 4.84 in Niles, MI, a gap of 4.06 from Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. BLS lists 550 jobs and a median of $106,320 per year, or $46,730 above Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists.
2. Machinists has a location quotient of 4.81 in Niles, MI, a gap of 4.03 from Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. BLS lists 530 jobs and a median of $50,430 per year, or $9,160 below Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists.
Price-level view
What $59,590 may mean after the Niles, MI price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Niles, MI is 92.4. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.6% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $59,590 Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median by 92.4 divided by 100. The result is $64,512 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 71.6. Goods are 93.7. Utilities are 96.0. Other services are 99.6. 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 Niles, MI row
The employment RSE for this Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists row is 9.2%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.3%. 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 90 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $58,800 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 Niles, MI wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. It uses a Niles, MI 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 $59,590 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 Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists row for Niles, MI 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 90 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.78 is not a growth score. Rank 225 of 388 is not a place score. The 92.4 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 49-3031 in BLS area 35660. 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 90 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.
