WageScope divides the published Carpenters 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 47-2031 and BLS area 12220.

Auburn-Opelika, AL was 21.4% below the U.S. median for Carpenters. It ranked 327 of 390 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Carpenters median says in Auburn-Opelika, AL
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Carpenters median in Auburn-Opelika, AL at $47,610 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 47-2031 and BLS area 12220.
BLS lists 200 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 $49,290 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Auburn-Opelika, AL's Carpenters median is 21.4% below the U.S. Carpenters median of $60,580 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.
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 47-2031 and area 12220. SOC 47-2031 names Carpenters. Area 12220 names Auburn-Opelika, AL. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 47-2031/12220 row reports 200 wage and salary jobs, 2.78 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.65 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 47-2031/12220, the annual median is $47,610 per year, while the matching mean is $49,290 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 12220 reports 72,710 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $52,160. Its annual median is $39,070. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.6%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 47-2031 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Auburn-Opelika, AL runs from $22,980 at the 10th percentile to $94,400 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $29,300. The median is $39,070. The 75th percentile is $61,270. This is a place check, not a pay range for Carpenters.
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 12220. They do not show related skills or a path into Carpenters.
1. Area 12220, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 2,370 jobs, $24,600 annual median, 32.57 jobs per 1,000, and 1.31 location quotient.
2. Area 12220, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 2,300 jobs, $29,140 annual median, 31.63 jobs per 1,000, and 1.26 location quotient.
3. Area 12220, SOC 51-2090, Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators: 2,000 jobs, $34,530 annual median, 27.55 jobs per 1,000, and 3.05 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Auburn-Opelika, AL wage ladder for Carpenters
The 10th percentile is $33,730 per year. The 25th percentile is $41,640 per year. The median is $47,610 per year. The 75th percentile is $55,120 per year. The 90th percentile is $63,690 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 $41,640 per year to $55,120 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $29,960. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Auburn-Opelika, AL with its state and the U.S.
Auburn-Opelika, AL has a annual median of $47,610 per year. Alabama has $48,220 per year. The U.S. row has $60,580 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Auburn-Opelika, AL is 1.3% below Alabama on the same published median. Auburn-Opelika, AL is 21.4% 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.
Auburn-Opelika, AL ranks 327 of 390 among metro areas with a published annual median for Carpenters. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 327 of 390 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.
324. Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville, FL has a Carpenters median of $47,770 per year, 680 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.64.
325. Myrtle Beach-Conway-North Myrtle Beach, SC has a Carpenters median of $47,750 per year, 510 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.81.
326. Sherman-Denison, TX has a Carpenters median of $47,740 per year, 160 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.71.
328. Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA has a Carpenters median of $47,580 per year, 340 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.07.
Pay leaders
Where Carpenters medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 47-2031, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Kankakee, IL has the highest published median in this set, at $95,280 per year. Auburn-Opelika, AL sits at $47,610 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Carpenters 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. Kankakee, IL has a Carpenters median of $95,280 per year, or $47,670 above Auburn-Opelika, AL. BLS lists 120 jobs there, compared with 200 in Auburn-Opelika, AL. The location quotient is 0.64.
2. Urban Honolulu, HI has a Carpenters median of $94,310 per year, or $46,700 above Auburn-Opelika, AL. BLS lists 3,120 jobs there, compared with 200 in Auburn-Opelika, AL. The location quotient is 1.62.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Carpenters jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Carpenters in this same-source set, at 34,210 jobs. Auburn-Opelika, AL has 200. 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 34,210 estimated Carpenters jobs, a gap of 34,010 jobs from Auburn-Opelika, AL. Its median is $74,300 per year, or $26,690 above Auburn-Opelika, AL. Its location quotient is 0.84.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 30,600 estimated Carpenters jobs, a gap of 30,400 jobs from Auburn-Opelika, AL. Its median is $75,740 per year, or $28,130 above Auburn-Opelika, AL. Its location quotient is 1.13.
Local-share leaders
Where Carpenters takes the largest share of local jobs
Barnstable Town, MA has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 3.15. Auburn-Opelika, AL has 0.65. 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 Carpenters 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. Barnstable Town, MA has a location quotient of 3.15, a gap of 2.50 from Auburn-Opelika, AL. BLS lists 1,280 Carpenters jobs and a median of $70,580 per year, or $22,970 above Auburn-Opelika, AL.
2. Bozeman, MT has a location quotient of 2.9, a gap of 2.25 from Auburn-Opelika, AL. BLS lists 900 Carpenters jobs and a median of $62,450 per year, or $14,840 above Auburn-Opelika, AL.
3. St. George, UT has a location quotient of 2.85, a gap of 2.20 from Auburn-Opelika, AL. BLS lists 1,110 Carpenters jobs and a median of $47,060 per year, or $550 below Auburn-Opelika, AL.
Job scale and share
How common Carpenters is in Auburn-Opelika, AL
BLS lists 200 Carpenters jobs in Auburn-Opelika, AL. It also lists 2.78 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 0.65. A value of 1 means Carpenters 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.
Carpenters beside other roles in Auburn-Opelika, AL
The all-occupations median in Auburn-Opelika, AL is $39,070 per year. The Carpenters median is $47,610 per year. Carpenters is 21.9% 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 Auburn-Opelika, AL. 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 Carpenters. 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. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers, SOC 53-3032, has a Auburn-Opelika, AL median of $49,210 per year. BLS lists 1,090 jobs and a location quotient of 1.13.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Retail Sales Workers, SOC 41-1011, has a Auburn-Opelika, AL median of $44,630 per year. BLS lists 880 jobs and a location quotient of 1.67.
3. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks, SOC 43-3031, has a Auburn-Opelika, AL median of $44,270 per year. BLS lists 560 jobs and a location quotient of 0.87.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Auburn-Opelika, AL
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Auburn-Opelika, AL table, at 2,370 jobs. Carpenters has 200 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 72,710. 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 Carpenters's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 2,370 jobs in Auburn-Opelika, AL, a gap of 2,170 from Carpenters. Its median is $24,600 per year, or $23,010 below Carpenters. Its location quotient is 1.31.
2. Retail Salespersons has 2,300 jobs in Auburn-Opelika, AL, a gap of 2,100 from Carpenters. Its median is $29,140 per year, or $18,470 below Carpenters. Its location quotient is 1.26.
3. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has 2,000 jobs in Auburn-Opelika, AL, a gap of 1,800 from Carpenters. Its median is $34,530 per year, or $13,080 below Carpenters. Its location quotient is 3.05.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Auburn-Opelika, AL
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Auburn-Opelika, AL role table, at $103,380 per year. Carpenters has $47,610 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $39,070 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 $103,380 per year in Auburn-Opelika, AL, or $55,770 above Carpenters. BLS lists 920 jobs, compared with 200 for Carpenters. Its location quotient is 0.56.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $78,040 per year in Auburn-Opelika, AL, or $30,430 above Carpenters. BLS lists 1,430 jobs, compared with 200 for Carpenters. Its location quotient is 0.91.
3. Accountants and Auditors has a median of $72,570 per year in Auburn-Opelika, AL, or $24,960 above Carpenters. BLS lists 680 jobs, compared with 200 for Carpenters. Its location quotient is 1.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Auburn-Opelika, AL
Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded Auburn-Opelika, AL role table, at 4.06. Carpenters has 0.65. 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 Carpenters 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 4.06 in Auburn-Opelika, AL, a gap of 3.41 from Carpenters. BLS lists 1,220 jobs and a median of $27,120 per year, or $20,490 below Carpenters.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 3.05 in Auburn-Opelika, AL, a gap of 2.40 from Carpenters. BLS lists 2,000 jobs and a median of $34,530 per year, or $13,080 below Carpenters.
3. Industrial Machinery Mechanics has a location quotient of 2.77 in Auburn-Opelika, AL, a gap of 2.12 from Carpenters. BLS lists 570 jobs and a median of $59,380 per year, or $11,770 above Carpenters.
Price-level view
What $47,610 may mean after the Auburn-Opelika, AL price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Auburn-Opelika, AL is 87.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 12.1% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $47,610 Carpenters median by 87.9 divided by 100. The result is $54,143 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 62.1. Goods are 96.4. Utilities are 83.9. Other services are 96.7. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
How much care to use with the Auburn-Opelika, AL row
The employment RSE for this Carpenters row is 9.7%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.7%. 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 200 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $49,290 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.
Use Auburn-Opelika, AL wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Carpenters. It uses a Auburn-Opelika, AL 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 $47,610 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.
What the Carpenters row for Auburn-Opelika, AL 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 200 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.65 is not a growth score. Rank 327 of 390 is not a place score. The 87.9 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 47-2031 in BLS area 12220. 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 200 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.
