WageScope divides the published Chefs and Head Cooks 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 35-1011 and BLS area 41500.

Salinas, CA was 16.0% above the U.S. median for Chefs and Head Cooks. It ranked 24 of 340 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Chefs and Head Cooks median says in Salinas, CA
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Chefs and Head Cooks median in Salinas, CA at $72,440 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 35-1011 and BLS area 41500.
BLS lists 360 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 $76,270 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Salinas, CA's Chefs and Head Cooks median is 16.0% above the U.S. Chefs and Head Cooks median of $62,470 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 35-1011 and area 41500. SOC 35-1011 names Chefs and Head Cooks. Area 41500 names Salinas, CA. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 35-1011/41500 row reports 360 wage and salary jobs, 1.92 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.49 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 35-1011/41500, the annual median is $72,440 per year, while the matching mean is $76,270 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 41500 facts behind this Chefs and Head Cooks page
Area 41500 reports 186,430 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $65,160. Its annual median is $47,380. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 35-1011 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Salinas, CA runs from $35,480 at the 10th percentile to $119,480 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $37,350. The median is $47,380. The 75th percentile is $75,790. This is a place check, not a pay range for Chefs and Head Cooks.
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 41500. They do not show related skills or a path into Chefs and Head Cooks.
1. Area 41500, SOC 45-2092, Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse: 26,830 jobs, $36,700 annual median, 143.93 jobs per 1,000, and 84.3 location quotient.
2. Area 41500, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 6,740 jobs, $34,320 annual median, 36.18 jobs per 1,000, and 1.31 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Salinas, CA wage ladder for Chefs and Head Cooks
The 10th percentile is $40,150 per year. The 25th percentile is $59,190 per year. The median is $72,440 per year. The 75th percentile is $91,380 per year. The 90th percentile is $111,730 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 $59,190 per year to $91,380 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $71,580. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Salinas, CA has a annual median of $72,440 per year. California has $64,500 per year. The U.S. row has $62,470 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Salinas, CA is 12.3% above California on the same published median. Salinas, CA is 16.0% 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 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.
Salinas, CA ranks 24 of 340 among metro areas with a published annual median for Chefs and Head Cooks. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 24 of 340 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.
21. Santa Rosa-Petaluma, CA has a Chefs and Head Cooks median of $73,570 per year, 460 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.76.
22. Spartanburg, SC has a Chefs and Head Cooks median of $72,670 per year, 140 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.65.
23. Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH has a Chefs and Head Cooks median of $72,470 per year, 4,430 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.27.
25. Kiryas Joel-Poughkeepsie-Newburgh, NY has a Chefs and Head Cooks median of $72,340 per year, 360 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.03.
Pay leaders
Where Chefs and Head Cooks medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 35-1011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Terre Haute, IN has the highest published median in this set, at $85,920 per year. Salinas, CA sits at $72,440 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Chefs and Head Cooks 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. Terre Haute, IN has a Chefs and Head Cooks median of $85,920 per year, or $13,480 above Salinas, CA. BLS lists 50 jobs there, compared with 360 in Salinas, CA. The location quotient is 0.65.
2. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has a Chefs and Head Cooks median of $84,990 per year, or $12,550 above Salinas, CA. BLS lists 250 jobs there, compared with 360 in Salinas, CA. The location quotient is 2.63.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Chefs and Head Cooks jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Chefs and Head Cooks in this same-source set, at 20,010 jobs. Salinas, CA has 360. 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 20,010 estimated Chefs and Head Cooks jobs, a gap of 19,650 jobs from Salinas, CA. Its median is $71,780 per year, or $660 below Salinas, CA. Its location quotient is 1.64.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 11,430 estimated Chefs and Head Cooks jobs, a gap of 11,070 jobs from Salinas, CA. Its median is $69,990 per year, or $2,450 below Salinas, CA. Its location quotient is 1.42.
Local-share leaders
Where Chefs and Head Cooks takes the largest share of local jobs
Atlantic City-Hammonton, NJ has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 4.15. Salinas, CA has 1.49. 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 Chefs and Head Cooks 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. Atlantic City-Hammonton, NJ has a location quotient of 4.15, a gap of 2.66 from Salinas, CA. BLS lists 900 Chefs and Head Cooks jobs and a median of $75,740 per year, or $3,300 above Salinas, CA.
2. Napa, CA has a location quotient of 3.01, a gap of 1.52 from Salinas, CA. BLS lists 300 Chefs and Head Cooks jobs and a median of $78,960 per year, or $6,520 above Salinas, CA.
3. Naples-Marco Island, FL has a location quotient of 2.85, a gap of 1.36 from Salinas, CA. BLS lists 640 Chefs and Head Cooks jobs and a median of $68,830 per year, or $3,610 below Salinas, CA.
Job scale and share
How common Chefs and Head Cooks is in Salinas, CA
BLS lists 360 Chefs and Head Cooks jobs in Salinas, CA. It also lists 1.92 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 1.49. A value of 1 means Chefs and Head Cooks 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.
Chefs and Head Cooks beside other roles in Salinas, CA
The all-occupations median in Salinas, CA is $47,380 per year. The Chefs and Head Cooks median is $72,440 per year. Chefs and Head Cooks is 52.9% 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 Salinas, CA. 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 Chefs and Head Cooks. 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 Salinas, CA median of $74,010 per year. BLS lists 1,230 jobs and a location quotient of 0.71.
2. Substitute Teachers, Short-Term, SOC 25-3031, has a Salinas, CA median of $63,970 per year. BLS lists 1,220 jobs and a location quotient of 1.94.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Farming, Fishing, and Forestry Workers, SOC 45-1011, has a Salinas, CA median of $62,030 per year. BLS lists 1,240 jobs and a location quotient of 37.07.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Salinas, CA
Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Salinas, CA table, at 26,830 jobs. Chefs and Head Cooks has 360 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 186,430. 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 Chefs and Head Cooks's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has 26,830 jobs in Salinas, CA, a gap of 26,470 from Chefs and Head Cooks. Its median is $36,700 per year, or $35,740 below Chefs and Head Cooks. Its location quotient is 84.3.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 6,740 jobs in Salinas, CA, a gap of 6,380 from Chefs and Head Cooks. Its median is $34,320 per year, or $38,120 below Chefs and Head Cooks. Its location quotient is 1.31.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Salinas, CA
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded Salinas, CA role table, at $134,910 per year. Chefs and Head Cooks has $72,440 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,380 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 $134,910 per year in Salinas, CA, or $62,470 above Chefs and Head Cooks. BLS lists 3,180 jobs, compared with 360 for Chefs and Head Cooks. Its location quotient is 0.79.
2. Teachers and Instructors, All Other has a median of $113,360 per year in Salinas, CA, or $40,920 above Chefs and Head Cooks. BLS lists 2,170 jobs, compared with 360 for Chefs and Head Cooks. Its location quotient is 15.9.
3. Correctional Officers and Jailers has a median of $109,620 per year in Salinas, CA, or $37,180 above Chefs and Head Cooks. BLS lists 1,510 jobs, compared with 360 for Chefs and Head Cooks. Its location quotient is 3.31.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Salinas, CA
Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has the highest location quotient in the bounded Salinas, CA role table, at 84.3. Chefs and Head Cooks has 1.49. 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 Chefs and Head Cooks with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has a location quotient of 84.3 in Salinas, CA, a gap of 82.81 from Chefs and Head Cooks. BLS lists 26,830 jobs and a median of $36,700 per year, or $35,740 below Chefs and Head Cooks.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Farming, Fishing, and Forestry Workers has a location quotient of 37.07 in Salinas, CA, a gap of 35.58 from Chefs and Head Cooks. BLS lists 1,240 jobs and a median of $62,030 per year, or $10,410 below Chefs and Head Cooks.
Price-level view
What $72,440 may mean after the Salinas, CA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Salinas, CA is 109.0. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 9.0% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $72,440 Chefs and Head Cooks median by 109.0 divided by 100. The result is $66,433 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 145.7. Goods are 105.2. Utilities are 154.2. Other services are 100.3. 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 Chefs and Head Cooks row is 12.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 4.2%. 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 360 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $76,270 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 Chefs and Head Cooks. It uses a Salinas, CA 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 $72,440 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 Chefs and Head Cooks row for Salinas, CA 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 360 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.49 is not a growth score. Rank 24 of 340 is not a place score. The 109.0 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 35-1011 in BLS area 41500. 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 360 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.
