WageScope divides the published Cashiers 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 41-2011 and BLS area 17980.

Columbus, GA-AL was 17.9% below the U.S. median for Cashiers. It ranked 368 of 393 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Cashiers median in Columbus, GA-AL at $26,980 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 41-2011 and BLS area 17980.
BLS lists 2,900 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 $26,510 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Columbus, GA-AL's Cashiers median is 17.9% below the U.S. Cashiers median of $32,880 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 41-2011 and area 17980. SOC 41-2011 names Cashiers. Area 17980 names Columbus, GA-AL. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 41-2011/17980 row reports 2,900 wage and salary jobs, 24.89 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.25 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 41-2011/17980, the annual median is $26,980 per year, while the matching mean is $26,510 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 17980 reports 116,380 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $55,130. Its annual median is $43,540. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.6%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 41-2011 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Columbus, GA-AL runs from $24,150 at the 10th percentile to $100,060 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $30,630. The median is $43,540. The 75th percentile is $64,450. This is a place check, not a pay range for Cashiers.
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 17980. They do not show related skills or a path into Cashiers.
1. Area 17980, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 4,060 jobs, $23,300 annual median, 34.91 jobs per 1,000, and 1.41 location quotient.
2. Area 17980, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 3,580 jobs, $28,180 annual median, 30.75 jobs per 1,000, and 1.23 location quotient.
3. Area 17980, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 2,790 jobs, $82,500 annual median, 23.98 jobs per 1,000, and 1.1 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Columbus, GA-AL wage ladder for Cashiers
The 10th percentile is $21,250 per year. The 25th percentile is $22,710 per year. The median is $26,980 per year. The 75th percentile is $28,780 per year. The 90th percentile is $31,800 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 $22,710 per year to $28,780 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $10,550. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Columbus, GA-AL with its state and the U.S.
Columbus, GA-AL has a annual median of $26,980 per year. Georgia has $29,070 per year. The U.S. row has $32,880 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Columbus, GA-AL is 7.2% below Georgia on the same published median. Columbus, GA-AL is 17.9% 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.
Columbus, GA-AL ranks 368 of 393 among metro areas with a published annual median for Cashiers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 368 of 393 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.
365. Dothan, AL has a Cashiers median of $27,040 per year, 1,630 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.35.
366. McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX has a Cashiers median of $27,020 per year, 7,000 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.19.
367. Weirton-Steubenville, WV-OH has a Cashiers median of $27,020 per year, 1,030 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.43.
369. Laredo, TX has a Cashiers median of $26,970 per year, 2,540 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.17.
Pay leaders
Where Cashiers medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 41-2011, 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 $44,210 per year. Columbus, GA-AL sits at $26,980 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Cashiers 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 Cashiers median of $44,210 per year, or $17,230 above Columbus, GA-AL. BLS lists 30,470 jobs there, compared with 2,900 in Columbus, GA-AL. The location quotient is 0.74.
2. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a Cashiers median of $42,960 per year, or $15,980 above Columbus, GA-AL. BLS lists 16,530 jobs there, compared with 2,900 in Columbus, GA-AL. The location quotient is 0.73.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Cashiers jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Cashiers in this same-source set, at 173,830 jobs. Columbus, GA-AL has 2,900. 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 173,830 estimated Cashiers jobs, a gap of 170,930 jobs from Columbus, GA-AL. Its median is $35,950 per year, or $8,970 above Columbus, GA-AL. Its location quotient is 0.92.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 109,940 estimated Cashiers jobs, a gap of 107,040 jobs from Columbus, GA-AL. Its median is $36,980 per year, or $10,000 above Columbus, GA-AL. Its location quotient is 0.88.
Local-share leaders
Where Cashiers takes the largest share of local jobs
Lake Havasu City-Kingman, AZ has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 2.36. Columbus, GA-AL has 1.25. 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 Cashiers 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. Lake Havasu City-Kingman, AZ has a location quotient of 2.36, a gap of 1.11 from Columbus, GA-AL. BLS lists 2,650 Cashiers jobs and a median of $32,510 per year, or $5,530 above Columbus, GA-AL.
2. Guayama, PR has a location quotient of 2.22, a gap of 0.97 from Columbus, GA-AL. BLS lists 550 Cashiers jobs and a median of $22,070 per year, or $4,910 below Columbus, GA-AL.
3. Arecibo, PR has a location quotient of 1.98, a gap of 0.73 from Columbus, GA-AL. BLS lists 1,360 Cashiers jobs and a median of $22,440 per year, or $4,540 below Columbus, GA-AL.
Job scale and share
How common Cashiers is in Columbus, GA-AL
BLS lists 2,900 Cashiers jobs in Columbus, GA-AL. It also lists 24.89 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 1.25. A value of 1 means Cashiers 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.
The all-occupations median in Columbus, GA-AL is $43,540 per year. The Cashiers median is $26,980 per year. Cashiers is 38.0% 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 Columbus, GA-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 Cashiers. 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. Teaching Assistants, Except Postsecondary, SOC 25-9045, has a Columbus, GA-AL median of $26,340 per year. BLS lists 870 jobs and a location quotient of 0.81.
2. Retail Salespersons, SOC 41-2031, has a Columbus, GA-AL median of $28,180 per year. BLS lists 3,580 jobs and a location quotient of 1.23.
3. Home Health and Personal Care Aides, SOC 31-1120, has a Columbus, GA-AL median of $28,810 per year. BLS lists 1,660 jobs and a location quotient of 0.52.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Columbus, GA-AL
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Columbus, GA-AL table, at 4,060 jobs. Cashiers has 2,900 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 116,380. 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 Cashiers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 4,060 jobs in Columbus, GA-AL, a gap of 1,160 from Cashiers. Its median is $23,300 per year, or $3,680 below Cashiers. Its location quotient is 1.41.
2. Retail Salespersons has 3,580 jobs in Columbus, GA-AL, a gap of 680 from Cashiers. Its median is $28,180 per year, or $1,200 above Cashiers. Its location quotient is 1.23.
3. Registered Nurses has 2,790 jobs in Columbus, GA-AL, a gap of 110 from Cashiers. Its median is $82,500 per year, or $55,520 above Cashiers. Its location quotient is 1.1.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Columbus, GA-AL
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Columbus, GA-AL role table, at $116,150 per year. Cashiers has $26,980 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $43,540 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 $116,150 per year in Columbus, GA-AL, or $89,170 above Cashiers. BLS lists 1,050 jobs, compared with 2,900 for Cashiers. Its location quotient is 0.83.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $82,500 per year in Columbus, GA-AL, or $55,520 above Cashiers. BLS lists 2,790 jobs, compared with 2,900 for Cashiers. Its location quotient is 1.1.
3. General and Operations Managers has a median of $82,330 per year in Columbus, GA-AL, or $55,350 above Cashiers. BLS lists 2,140 jobs, compared with 2,900 for Cashiers. Its location quotient is 0.81.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Columbus, GA-AL
Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Columbus, GA-AL role table, at 2.02. Cashiers has 1.25. 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 Cashiers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers has a location quotient of 2.02 in Columbus, GA-AL, a gap of 0.77 from Cashiers. BLS lists 1,010 jobs and a median of $49,990 per year, or $23,010 above Cashiers.
2. Business Operations Specialists, All Other has a location quotient of 1.72 in Columbus, GA-AL, a gap of 0.47 from Cashiers. BLS lists 1,400 jobs and a median of $77,540 per year, or $50,560 above Cashiers.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers has a location quotient of 1.57 in Columbus, GA-AL, a gap of 0.32 from Cashiers. BLS lists 1,440 jobs and a median of $36,180 per year, or $9,200 above Cashiers.
Price-level view
What $26,980 may mean after the Columbus, GA-AL price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Columbus, GA-AL is 89.3. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 10.7% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $26,980 Cashiers median by 89.3 divided by 100. The result is $30,214 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 61.2. Goods are 96.3. Utilities are 89.7. Other services are 98.6. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Cashiers row is 3.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.8%. 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 2,900 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $26,510 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.
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Cashiers. It uses a Columbus, GA-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. Job cards can change without changing this guide. They do not count toward the 1,500-word content floor. A listing range does not replace the $26,980 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 Cashiers row for Columbus, GA-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 2,900 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.25 is not a growth score. Rank 368 of 393 is not a place score. The 89.3 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 41-2011 in BLS area 17980. 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.
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.
