Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area was 4.3% below the U.S. median for Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. It ranked 48 of 135 nonmetro areas. We rank only areas with a published annual median. These pay gaps leave out prices, benefits, and skills. They also leave out the mix of firms and work hours.
What the Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median says in Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median in Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area at $59,090 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 5100004.
BLS lists 240 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 $55,470 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area's Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median is 4.3% below the U.S. Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median of $61,770 on the same published median. Both values use the same job code and source date. They do not account for prices, taxes, benefits, hours, or your work history.

Same-source checks
Compare Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $59,090 per year. Virginia has $61,090 per year. The U.S. row has $61,770 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area is 3.3% below Virginia on the same published median. Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area is 4.3% 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 benchmarks, 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 Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area sits for Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists
Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area ranks 48 of 135 among nonmetro 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 48 of 135 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.
45. Eastern Oregon nonmetropolitan area. The Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median is $59,340 per year. BLS estimates 220 jobs. The location quotient is 1.6.
46. Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area. The Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median is $59,290 per year. BLS estimates 140 jobs. The location quotient is 0.78.
47. South Central Tennessee nonmetropolitan area. The Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median is $59,100 per year. BLS estimates 290 jobs. The location quotient is 1.4.
Pay leaders
Where Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 49-3031, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Alaska nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $77,330 per year. Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area sits at $59,090 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 limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. Alaska nonmetropolitan area has a Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median of $77,330 per year, or $18,240 above Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 310 jobs there, compared with 240 in Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 1.53.
2. West North Dakota nonmetropolitan area has a Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median of $73,960 per year, or $14,870 above Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 630 jobs there, compared with 240 in Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 3.85.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists jobs
West Northwestern Ohio nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists in this same-source set, at 1,060 jobs. Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area has 240. 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. West Northwestern Ohio nonmetropolitan area has 1,060 estimated Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists jobs, a gap of 820 jobs from Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $57,440 per year, or $1,650 below Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 2.27.
2. Kansas nonmetropolitan area has 950 estimated Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists jobs, a gap of 710 jobs from Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $56,950 per year, or $2,140 below Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.36.
Local-share leaders
Where Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists takes the largest share of local jobs
West North Dakota nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 3.85. Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area has 1.94. 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. West North Dakota nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 3.85, a gap of 1.91 from Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 630 Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists jobs and a median of $73,960 per year, or $14,870 above Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area.
2. Southeast Alabama nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 2.47, a gap of 0.53 from Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 390 Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists jobs and a median of $47,490 per year, or $11,600 below Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists is in Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 240 Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists jobs in Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 3.61 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 1.94. 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 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
Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists beside other roles in Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area is $46,320 per year. The Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists median is $59,090 per year. Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists is 27.6% 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 Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area. 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 Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area median of $60,510 per year. BLS lists 790 jobs and a location quotient of 1.36.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area
Cashiers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area table, at 2,220 jobs. Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists has 240 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 65,220. 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. Cashiers has 2,220 jobs in Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1,980 from Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. Its median is $29,390 per year, or $29,700 below Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. Its location quotient is 1.71.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 2,090 jobs in Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1,850 from Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area role table, at $89,170 per year. Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists has $59,090 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,320 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 $89,170 per year in Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area, or $30,080 above Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. BLS lists 1,410 jobs, compared with 240 for Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. Its location quotient is 0.96.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $82,200 per year in Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area, or $23,110 above Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. BLS lists 690 jobs, compared with 240 for Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. Its location quotient is 0.49.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area
Industrial Truck and Tractor Operators has the highest location quotient in the bounded Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area role table, at 2.28. Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists has 1.94. 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. Industrial Truck and Tractor Operators has a location quotient of 2.28 in Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 0.34 from Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists. BLS lists 740 jobs and a median of $63,990 per year, or $4,900 above Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists.
2. Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers has a location quotient of 2.02 in Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 0.08 from Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists.

Price-level view
What $59,090 may mean after the Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $59,090 BLS median stays a nominal wage.
No price row means no national-price-dollar proxy. It does not mean prices match the U.S. level. It does not say whether a wage goes far or not. The source is missing for this exact map key, so the price answer stays open.
You can still compare Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists with the U.S. or with like nonmetro areas on the same BLS metric. Keep that as a nominal wage comparison. Add price-level context only when an exact reviewed row exists.
Data care
How much care to use with the Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists row is 8.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.7%. 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 240 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $55,470 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 Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area 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 Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area 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 $59,090 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 Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area 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 240 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.94 is not a growth score. Rank 48 of 135 is not a place score. A missing 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 5100004. 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.
How many Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists jobs does BLS estimate in Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area?
BLS estimates 240 wage and salary jobs for this row. This is a survey estimate. It does not count open jobs or predict future hiring.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. We show job posts in a separate list. Each has its own source and check date. Posted pay does not change the BLS pay data.
