Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) was 14.6% below the U.S. median for Carpenters. It ranked 55 of 136 nonmetro 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 Virgin Islands (nonmetro area)
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Carpenters median in Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) at $51,730 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 7800001.
BLS lists 270 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 $53,410 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Virgin Islands (nonmetro area)'s Carpenters median is 14.6% 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 7800001. SOC 47-2031 names Carpenters. Area 7800001 names Virgin Islands (nonmetro area). Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 47-2031/7800001 row reports 270 wage and salary jobs, 8.56 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.99 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 47-2031/7800001, the annual median is $51,730 per year, while the matching mean is $53,410 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
47-2031/7800001 10th percentile: $31,390 per year.
47-2031/7800001 25th percentile: $46,100 per year.
47-2031/7800001 median: $51,730 per year.
47-2031/7800001 75th percentile: $61,680 per year.
47-2031/7800001 90th percentile: $68,540 per year.
BLS area 7800001 facts behind this Carpenters page
Area 7800001 reports 32,050 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $52,720. Its annual median is $42,860. The employment RSE is 0.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.9%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 47-2031 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) runs from $26,340 at the 10th percentile to $89,620 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $31,070. The median is $42,860. The 75th percentile is $62,080. 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 7800001. They do not show related skills or a path into Carpenters.
1. Area 7800001, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 1,300 jobs, $28,790 annual median, 40.5 jobs per 1,000, and 1.62 location quotient.

Map name check
Why this is the Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) row
This URL points to the BLS nonmetro table, under area code 7800001. A second source row uses the same base place name in the state and territory table. The words in parentheses help a reader see which map record supplied the answer.
The nonmetro record stands on its own. WageScope keeps its 270 job estimate and $51,730 median under this code. It never fills this page from the broad territory row. It never treats two matching values as permission to blend the records.
Choose this page only for the published nonmetro entry. For the broad territory entry, follow its separate labeled page. A careful comparison keeps both area codes in view, reads the same wage unit, and checks the May 2025 date before using either number.
Read the Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) wage ladder for Carpenters
The 10th percentile is $31,390 per year. The 25th percentile is $46,100 per year. The median is $51,730 per year. The 75th percentile is $61,680 per year. The 90th percentile is $68,540 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 $46,100 per year to $61,680 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $37,150. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) with its state and the U.S.
Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) has a annual median of $51,730 per year. Virgin Islands (territory) has $51,730 per year. The U.S. row has $60,580 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) and Virgin Islands (territory) have the same published median after rounding. Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) is 14.6% 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.
Where Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) sits for Carpenters
Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) ranks 55 of 136 among nonmetro 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 55 of 136 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.
52. Northeast Iowa nonmetropolitan area has a Carpenters median of $52,000 per year, 290 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.67.
53. West North Dakota nonmetropolitan area has a Carpenters median of $51,870 per year, 340 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.9.
54. Southwest Iowa nonmetropolitan area has a Carpenters median of $51,820 per year, 200 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.65.
56. Southern Michigan nonmetropolitan area has a Carpenters median of $51,310 per year, 600 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.03.
Pay leaders
Where Carpenters medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 47-2031, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $84,650 per year. Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) sits at $51,730 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. Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area has a Carpenters median of $84,650 per year, or $32,920 above Virgin Islands (nonmetro area). BLS lists 400 jobs there, compared with 270 in Virgin Islands (nonmetro area). The location quotient is 1.47.
2. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has a Carpenters median of $80,750 per year, or $29,020 above Virgin Islands (nonmetro area). BLS lists 990 jobs there, compared with 270 in Virgin Islands (nonmetro area). The location quotient is 2.19.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Carpenters jobs
Guam (nonmetro area) has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Carpenters in this same-source set, at 1,510 jobs. Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) has 270. 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. Guam (nonmetro area) has 1,510 estimated Carpenters jobs, a gap of 1,240 jobs from Virgin Islands (nonmetro area). Its median is $36,910 per year, or $14,820 below Virgin Islands (nonmetro area). Its location quotient is 5.26.
2. Western Washington nonmetropolitan area has 1,380 estimated Carpenters jobs, a gap of 1,110 jobs from Virgin Islands (nonmetro area). Its median is $63,710 per year, or $11,980 above Virgin Islands (nonmetro area). Its location quotient is 2.47.
Local-share leaders
Where Carpenters takes the largest share of local jobs
Guam (nonmetro area) has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 5.26. Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) has 1.99. 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. Guam (nonmetro area) has a location quotient of 5.26, a gap of 3.27 from Virgin Islands (nonmetro area). BLS lists 1,510 Carpenters jobs and a median of $36,910 per year, or $14,820 below Virgin Islands (nonmetro area).
2. Wasatch Front Fringe Utah nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 3.58, a gap of 1.59 from Virgin Islands (nonmetro area). BLS lists 1,040 Carpenters jobs and a median of $55,720 per year, or $3,990 above Virgin Islands (nonmetro area).
Job scale and share
How common Carpenters is in Virgin Islands (nonmetro area)
BLS lists 270 Carpenters jobs in Virgin Islands (nonmetro area). It also lists 8.56 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 1.99. A value of 1 means Carpenters 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.
Carpenters beside other roles in Virgin Islands (nonmetro area)
The all-occupations median in Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) is $42,860 per year. The Carpenters median is $51,730 per year. Carpenters is 20.7% 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 Virgin Islands (nonmetro 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 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. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers, SOC 43-1011, has a Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) median of $55,600 per year. BLS lists 510 jobs and a location quotient of 1.72.
2. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks, SOC 43-3031, has a Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) median of $46,490 per year. BLS lists 280 jobs and a location quotient of 0.99.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Virgin Islands (nonmetro area)
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) table, at 1,300 jobs. Carpenters has 270 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 32,050. 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. Retail Salespersons has 1,300 jobs in Virgin Islands (nonmetro area), a gap of 1,030 from Carpenters. Its median is $28,790 per year, or $22,940 below Carpenters. Its location quotient is 1.62.
2. General and Operations Managers has 1,040 jobs in Virgin Islands (nonmetro area), a gap of 770 from Carpenters. Its median is $82,850 per year, or $31,120 above Carpenters. Its location quotient is 1.44.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Virgin Islands (nonmetro area)
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) role table, at $84,120 per year. Carpenters has $51,730 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $42,860 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. Registered Nurses has a median of $84,120 per year in Virgin Islands (nonmetro area), or $32,390 above Carpenters. BLS lists 470 jobs, compared with 270 for Carpenters. Its location quotient is 0.67.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $82,850 per year in Virgin Islands (nonmetro area), or $31,120 above Carpenters. BLS lists 1,040 jobs, compared with 270 for Carpenters. Its location quotient is 1.44.
3. Business Operations Specialists, All Other has a median of $65,170 per year in Virgin Islands (nonmetro area), or $13,440 above Carpenters. BLS lists 370 jobs, compared with 270 for Carpenters. Its location quotient is 1.63.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Virgin Islands (nonmetro area)
Reservation and Transportation Ticket Agents and Travel Clerks has the highest location quotient in the bounded Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) role table, at 12.3. Carpenters has 1.99. 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. Reservation and Transportation Ticket Agents and Travel Clerks has a location quotient of 12.3 in Virgin Islands (nonmetro area), a gap of 10.31 from Carpenters. BLS lists 300 jobs and a median of $29,030 per year, or $22,700 below Carpenters.
2. Security Guards has a location quotient of 3.91 in Virgin Islands (nonmetro area), a gap of 1.92 from Carpenters. BLS lists 1,030 jobs and a median of $31,990 per year, or $19,740 below Carpenters.
Price-level view
What $51,730 may mean after the Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Virgin Islands (nonmetro area). It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $51,730 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 Carpenters 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.
How much care to use with the Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) row
The employment RSE for this Carpenters row is 7.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 3.9%. 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 270 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $53,410 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 Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Carpenters. It uses a Virgin Islands (nonmetro 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 $51,730 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 Virgin Islands (nonmetro 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 270 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.99 is not a growth score. Rank 55 of 136 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 47-2031 in BLS area 7800001. 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 270 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.
