1.1%
San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA was 3.8% above the U.S. median for Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity. It ranked 31 of 171 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity median says in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity median in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA at $61,290 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 53-3052 and BLS area 41740.
BLS lists 1,720 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 $59,770 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA's Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity median is 3.8% above the U.S. Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity median of $59,050 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 53-3052 with area 41740
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 53-3052 and area 41740. SOC 53-3052 names Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity. Area 41740 names San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 53-3052/41740 row reports 1,720 wage and salary jobs, 1.12 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.09 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 53-3052/41740, the annual median is $61,290 per year, while the matching mean is $59,770 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
53-3052/41740 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.
Place source check
BLS area 41740 facts behind this Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity page

The 75th percentile is $97,410. This is a place check, not a pay range for Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity.
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 41740. They do not show related skills or a path into Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity.

Read the San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA wage ladder for Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity
The 10th percentile is $49,480 per year. The 25th percentile is $54,710 per year. The median is $61,290 per year. The 75th percentile is $61,290 per year. The 90th percentile is $70,530 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 $54,710 per year to $61,290 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $21,050. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA with its state and the U.S.
San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA has a annual median of $61,290 per year. California has $67,130 per year. The U.S. row has $59,050 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA is 8.7% below California on the same published median. San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA is 3.8% 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 San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA sits for Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity
San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA ranks 31 of 171 among metro areas with a published annual median for Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 31 of 171 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.
28. Fresno, CA has a Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity median of $62,170 per year, Not published estimated jobs, and a location quotient of Not published.
29. Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood, IN has a Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity median of $61,470 per year, 960 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.85.

Pay leaders
Where Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 53-3052, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV has the highest published median in this set, at $90,460 per year. San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA sits at $61,290 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 Drivers, Transit and Intercity 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. Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV has a Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity median of $90,460 per year, or $29,170 above San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. BLS lists 2,180 jobs there, compared with 1,720 in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. The location quotient is 1.87.
2. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA has a Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity median of $83,430 per year, or $22,140 above San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. BLS lists 4,430 jobs there, compared with 1,720 in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. The location quotient is 2.07.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity in this same-source set, at 19,770 jobs. San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA has 1,720. 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 19,770 estimated Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity jobs, a gap of 18,050 jobs from San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. Its median is $78,130 per year, or $16,840 above San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. Its location quotient is 2.03.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 10,140 estimated Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity jobs, a gap of 8,420 jobs from San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. Its median is $68,020 per year, or $6,730 above San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. Its location quotient is 1.58.
Local-share leaders
Where Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity takes the largest share of local jobs
Urban Honolulu, HI has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 3.95. San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA has 1.09. 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 Drivers, Transit and Intercity 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. Urban Honolulu, HI has a location quotient of 3.95, a gap of 2.86 from San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. BLS lists 1,810 Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity jobs and a median of $68,500 per year, or $7,210 above San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA.
2. Santa Cruz-Watsonville, CA has a location quotient of 3.69, a gap of 2.60 from San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. BLS lists 370 Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity jobs and a median of $57,780 per year, or $3,510 below San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA.
Job scale and share
How common Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity is in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA
BLS lists 1,720 Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity jobs in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. It also lists 1.12 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 1.09. A value of 1 means Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity 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 Drivers, Transit and Intercity beside other roles in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA
The all-occupations median in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA is $58,690 per year. The Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity median is $61,290 per year. Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity is 4.4% 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 San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. 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 Drivers, Transit and Intercity. 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. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks, SOC 43-3031, has a San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA median of $58,580 per year. BLS lists 12,830 jobs and a location quotient of 0.94.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA table, at 57,080 jobs. Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity has 1,720 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 1,538,060. 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 Drivers, Transit and Intercity's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 57,080 jobs in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA, a gap of 55,360 from Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity. Its median is $35,300 per year, or $25,990 below Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity. Its location quotient is 1.34.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 42,550 jobs in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA, a gap of 40,830 from Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity. Its median is $42,190 per year, or $19,100 below Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity. Its location quotient is 1.12.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA role table, at $163,270 per year. Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity has $61,290 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $58,690 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 $163,270 per year in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA, or $101,980 above Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity. BLS lists 20,610 jobs, compared with 1,720 for Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity. Its location quotient is 1.23.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $139,520 per year in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA, or $78,230 above Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity. BLS lists 28,680 jobs, compared with 1,720 for Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity. Its location quotient is 0.86.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA
Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA role table, at 1.68. Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity has 1.09. 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 Drivers, Transit and Intercity with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Cooks, Fast Food has a location quotient of 1.68 in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA, a gap of 0.59 from Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity. BLS lists 10,630 jobs and a median of $42,450 per year, or $18,840 below Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity.
2. Business Operations Specialists, All Other has a location quotient of 1.46 in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA, a gap of 0.37 from Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity. BLS lists 15,690 jobs and a median of $96,580 per year, or $35,290 above Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity.
Price-level view
What $61,290 may mean after the San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA is 111.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 11.9% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $61,290 Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity median by 111.9 divided by 100. The result is $54,778 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 179.3. Goods are 108.0. Utilities are 174.2. 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 San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA row
The employment RSE for this Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity row is 1.3%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. 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 1,720 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $59,770 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 San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Bus Drivers, Transit and Intercity. It uses a San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA 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 $61,290 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 Drivers, Transit and Intercity row for San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA 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 1,720 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.09 is not a growth score. Rank 31 of 171 is not a place score. The 111.9 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 53-3052 in BLS area 41740. 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 1,720 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?
