What the Cashiers median says in Kahului-Wailuku, HI

The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Cashiers median in Kahului-Wailuku, HI at $39,010 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 27980.

BLS lists 1,500 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 $42,430 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

Kahului-Wailuku, HI's Cashiers median is 18.6% above the U.S. Cashiers median of $32,880 on the same published median. Both values use the same job code and source date. They do not account for prices, taxes, benefits, hours, or your work history.

Read source key 41-2011 with area 27980

This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 41-2011 and area 27980. SOC 41-2011 names Cashiers. Area 27980 names Kahului-Wailuku, HI. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.

The 41-2011/27980 row has 1,500 wage and salary jobs. There are 20.38 for each 1,000 local jobs. The location quotient is 1.03. Each value stays under the same job and area codes.

Read the Kahului-Wailuku, HI wage ladder for Cashiers

The 10th percentile is $35,440 per year. The 25th percentile is $37,580 per year. The median is $39,010 per year. The 75th percentile is $45,980 per year. The 90th percentile is $48,830 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 $37,580 per year to $45,980 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $13,390. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.

Compare Kahului-Wailuku, HI with its state and the U.S.

Kahului-Wailuku, HI has a annual median of $39,010 per year. Hawaii has $36,780 per year. The U.S. row has $32,880 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.

Kahului-Wailuku, HI is 6.1% above Hawaii on the same published median. Kahului-Wailuku, HI is 18.6% 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 benchmarks, 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 Kahului-Wailuku, HI sits for Cashiers

Kahului-Wailuku, HI ranks 4 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 4 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.

• 1. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA. The Cashiers median is $44,210 per year. BLS estimates 30,470 jobs. The location quotient is 0.74.
• 2. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA. The Cashiers median is $42,960 per year. BLS estimates 16,530 jobs. The location quotient is 0.73.

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. Kahului-Wailuku, HI sits at $39,010 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 limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.

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. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has 1,500. 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 172,330 jobs from Kahului-Wailuku, HI. Its median is $35,950 per year, or $3,060 below Kahului-Wailuku, HI. Its location quotient is 0.92.

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. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has 1.03. 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 1.33 from Kahului-Wailuku, HI. BLS lists 2,650 Cashiers jobs and a median of $32,510 per year, or $6,500 below Kahului-Wailuku, HI.

How common Cashiers is in Kahului-Wailuku, HI

BLS lists 1,500 Cashiers jobs in Kahului-Wailuku, HI. It also lists 20.38 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 1.03. A value of 1 means Cashiers has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is the same 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.

Cashiers beside other roles in Kahului-Wailuku, HI

The all-occupations median in Kahului-Wailuku, HI is $57,640 per year. The Cashiers median is $39,010 per year. Cashiers is 32.3% 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 Kahului-Wailuku, HI. 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.

Waiters and Waitresses is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Kahului-Wailuku, HI table, at 2,700 jobs. Cashiers has 1,500 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 73,750. 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.

Published role medians around Kahului-Wailuku, HI

Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded Kahului-Wailuku, HI role table, at $144,350 per year. Cashiers has $39,010 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.

The local all-occupations median is $57,640 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.

Roles with the largest local share in Kahului-Wailuku, HI

Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks has the highest location quotient in the bounded Kahului-Wailuku, HI role table, at 5.9. Cashiers has 1.03. 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. Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks has a location quotient of 5.9 in Kahului-Wailuku, HI, a gap of 4.87 from Cashiers. BLS lists 730 jobs and a median of $60,360 per year, or $21,350 above Cashiers.

What $39,010 may mean after the Kahului-Wailuku, HI price level

BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Kahului-Wailuku, HI is 109.4. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 9.4% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.

WageScope divides the $39,010 Cashiers median by 109.4 divided by 100. The result is $35,660 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 119.2. Goods are 111.6. Utilities are 190.6. Other services are 102.9. 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 Kahului-Wailuku, HI row

The employment RSE for this Cashiers row is 6%. The mean-wage RSE is 1%. 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 1,500 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $42,430 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 Kahului-Wailuku, HI wage data before you tailor

The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Cashiers. It uses a Kahului-Wailuku, HI 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 $39,010 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 Kahului-Wailuku, HI 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 1,500 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.03 is not a growth score. Rank 4 of 393 is not a place score. The 109.4 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 27980. 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.
