1.4%
Odessa, TX was 9.4% below the U.S. median for Butchers and Meat Cutters. It ranked 294 of 363 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Butchers and Meat Cutters median says in Odessa, TX
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Butchers and Meat Cutters median in Odessa, TX at $36,370 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 51-3021 and BLS area 36220.
BLS lists 80 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 $38,850 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Odessa, TX's Butchers and Meat Cutters median is 9.4% below the U.S. Butchers and Meat Cutters median of $40,140 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 51-3021 with area 36220
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 51-3021 and area 36220. SOC 51-3021 names Butchers and Meat Cutters. Area 36220 names Odessa, TX. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 51-3021/36220 row reports 80 wage and salary jobs, 0.97 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.11 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 51-3021/36220, the annual median is $36,370 per year, while the matching mean is $38,850 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
51-3021/36220 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.
Place source check
BLS area 36220 facts behind this Butchers and Meat Cutters page
Area 36220 reports 80,910 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $60,380. Its annual median is $48,590. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.6%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 51-3021 row.

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 36220. They do not show related skills or a path into Butchers and Meat Cutters.
1. Area 36220, SOC 53-3032, Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers: 3,190 jobs, $58,370 annual median, 39.37 jobs per 1,000, and 2.97 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Odessa, TX wage ladder for Butchers and Meat Cutters
The 10th percentile is $26,820 per year. The 25th percentile is $28,450 per year. The median is $36,370 per year. The 75th percentile is $49,080 per year. The 90th percentile is $56,200 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 $28,450 per year to $49,080 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $29,380. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare Odessa, TX with its state and the U.S.
Odessa, TX has a annual median of $36,370 per year. Texas has $37,400 per year. The U.S. row has $40,140 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Odessa, TX is 2.8% below Texas on the same published median. Odessa, TX is 9.4% 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 Odessa, TX sits for Butchers and Meat Cutters
Odessa, TX ranks 294 of 363 among metro areas with a published annual median for Butchers and Meat Cutters. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 294 of 363 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.
291. Bloomington, IL has a Butchers and Meat Cutters median of $36,400 per year, 70 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.86.
292. Greenville, NC has a Butchers and Meat Cutters median of $36,390 per year, 30 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.48.
293. Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA has a Butchers and Meat Cutters median of $36,370 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.59.
295. Lafayette, LA has a Butchers and Meat Cutters median of $36,360 per year, 320 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.04.
Pay leaders
Where Butchers and Meat Cutters medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 51-3021, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA has the highest published median in this set, at $60,600 per year. Odessa, TX sits at $36,370 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Butchers and Meat Cutters 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. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA has a Butchers and Meat Cutters median of $60,600 per year, or $24,230 above Odessa, TX. BLS lists 1,300 jobs there, compared with 80 in Odessa, TX. The location quotient is 0.71.
2. Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA has a Butchers and Meat Cutters median of $57,930 per year, or $21,560 above Odessa, TX. BLS lists 100 jobs there, compared with 80 in Odessa, TX. The location quotient is 1.16.
3. Fairbanks-College, AK has a Butchers and Meat Cutters median of $57,920 per year, or $21,550 above Odessa, TX. BLS lists 30 jobs there, compared with 80 in Odessa, TX. The location quotient is 0.99.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Butchers and Meat Cutters jobs
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has the largest published metro job estimate for Butchers and Meat Cutters in this same-source set, at 6,510 jobs. Odessa, TX has 80. 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. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 6,510 estimated Butchers and Meat Cutters jobs, a gap of 6,430 jobs from Odessa, TX. Its median is $42,400 per year, or $6,030 above Odessa, TX. Its location quotient is 1.18.
2. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 6,220 estimated Butchers and Meat Cutters jobs, a gap of 6,140 jobs from Odessa, TX. Its median is $42,470 per year, or $6,100 above Odessa, TX. Its location quotient is 0.75.
3. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has 5,910 estimated Butchers and Meat Cutters jobs, a gap of 5,830 jobs from Odessa, TX. Its median is $40,410 per year, or $4,040 above Odessa, TX. Its location quotient is 1.49.
Local-share leaders
Where Butchers and Meat Cutters takes the largest share of local jobs
Twin Falls, ID has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 5.31. Odessa, TX has 1.11. 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 Butchers and Meat Cutters 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. Twin Falls, ID has a location quotient of 5.31, a gap of 4.20 from Odessa, TX. BLS lists 230 Butchers and Meat Cutters jobs and a median of $37,530 per year, or $1,160 above Odessa, TX.
2. Guayama, PR has a location quotient of 4.65, a gap of 3.54 from Odessa, TX. BLS lists 50 Butchers and Meat Cutters jobs and a median of $22,290 per year, or $14,080 below Odessa, TX.

Job scale and share
How common Butchers and Meat Cutters is in Odessa, TX
BLS lists 80 Butchers and Meat Cutters jobs in Odessa, TX. It also lists 0.97 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 1.11. A value of 1 means Butchers and Meat Cutters 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
Butchers and Meat Cutters beside other roles in Odessa, TX
The all-occupations median in Odessa, TX is $48,590 per year. The Butchers and Meat Cutters median is $36,370 per year. Butchers and Meat Cutters is 25.1% 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 Odessa, TX. 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 Butchers and Meat Cutters. 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. First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers, SOC 35-1012, has a Odessa, TX median of $35,810 per year. BLS lists 830 jobs and a location quotient of 1.3.
2. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners, SOC 37-2011, has a Odessa, TX median of $37,320 per year. BLS lists 840 jobs and a location quotient of 0.73.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Odessa, TX
Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Odessa, TX table, at 3,190 jobs. Butchers and Meat Cutters has 80 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 80,910. 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 Butchers and Meat Cutters's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has 3,190 jobs in Odessa, TX, a gap of 3,110 from Butchers and Meat Cutters. Its median is $58,370 per year, or $22,000 above Butchers and Meat Cutters. Its location quotient is 2.97.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 2,960 jobs in Odessa, TX, a gap of 2,880 from Butchers and Meat Cutters. Its median is $28,390 per year, or $7,980 below Butchers and Meat Cutters. Its location quotient is 1.48.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around Odessa, TX
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Odessa, TX role table, at $104,100 per year. Butchers and Meat Cutters has $36,370 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,590 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 $104,100 per year in Odessa, TX, or $67,730 above Butchers and Meat Cutters. BLS lists 2,630 jobs, compared with 80 for Butchers and Meat Cutters. Its location quotient is 1.44.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers has a median of $84,570 per year in Odessa, TX, or $48,200 above Butchers and Meat Cutters. BLS lists 820 jobs, compared with 80 for Butchers and Meat Cutters. Its location quotient is 2.56.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Odessa, TX
Roustabouts, Oil and Gas has the highest location quotient in the bounded Odessa, TX role table, at 88.19. Butchers and Meat Cutters has 1.11. 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 Butchers and Meat Cutters with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Roustabouts, Oil and Gas has a location quotient of 88.19 in Odessa, TX, a gap of 87.08 from Butchers and Meat Cutters. BLS lists 2,060 jobs and a median of $45,650 per year, or $9,280 above Butchers and Meat Cutters.
2. Service Unit Operators, Oil and Gas has a location quotient of 77.08 in Odessa, TX, a gap of 75.97 from Butchers and Meat Cutters. BLS lists 1,730 jobs and a median of $49,080 per year, or $12,710 above Butchers and Meat Cutters.

Price-level view
What $36,370 may mean after the Odessa, TX price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Odessa, TX is 93.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 6.1% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $36,370 Butchers and Meat Cutters median by 93.9 divided by 100. The result is $38,734 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 89.7. Goods are 93.8. Utilities are 82.9. Other services are 96.2. 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 Odessa, TX row
The employment RSE for this Butchers and Meat Cutters row is 11.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.9%. 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 80 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $38,850 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 Odessa, TX wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Butchers and Meat Cutters. It uses a Odessa, TX 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 $36,370 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 Butchers and Meat Cutters row for Odessa, TX 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 80 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.11 is not a growth score. Rank 294 of 363 is not a place score. The 93.9 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-3021 in BLS area 36220. 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 80 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.
