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 55.
Questions, answered
Chefs and Head Cooks pay in Wisconsin: common questions
What is the median wage for Chefs and Head Cooks in Wisconsin?

What the Chefs and Head Cooks median says in Wisconsin
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Chefs and Head Cooks median in Wisconsin at $61,300 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 55.
BLS lists 1,860 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 $64,210 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Wisconsin's Chefs and Head Cooks median is 1.9% below 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 55. SOC 35-1011 names Chefs and Head Cooks. Area 55 names Wisconsin. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 35-1011/55 row reports 1,860 wage and salary jobs, 0.63 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.49 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 35-1011/55, the annual median is $61,300 per year, while the matching mean is $64,210 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 55 facts behind this Chefs and Head Cooks page
Area 55 reports 2,941,540 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $64,270. Its annual median is $50,270. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 35-1011 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Wisconsin runs from $29,980 at the 10th percentile to $104,990 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $37,700. The median is $50,270. The 75th percentile is $76,350. 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 55. They do not show related skills or a path into Chefs and Head Cooks.
1. Area 55, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 82,430 jobs, $36,340 annual median, 28.02 jobs per 1,000, and 1.01 location quotient.
2. Area 55, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 70,520 jobs, $44,610 annual median, 23.98 jobs per 1,000, and 1.26 location quotient.
3. Area 55, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 68,060 jobs, $95,530 annual median, 23.14 jobs per 1,000, and 1.06 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Wisconsin wage ladder for Chefs and Head Cooks
The 10th percentile is $41,990 per year. The 25th percentile is $49,200 per year. The median is $61,300 per year. The 75th percentile is $74,080 per year. The 90th percentile is $87,570 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 $49,200 per year to $74,080 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $45,580. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Wisconsin has a annual median of $61,300 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $62,470 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Wisconsin. Wisconsin is 1.9% 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.
Wisconsin ranks 29 of 53 among states and territories 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 29 of 53 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.
26. New Mexico has a Chefs and Head Cooks median of $62,250 per year, 770 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.69.
27. Maryland has a Chefs and Head Cooks median of $61,590 per year, 3,220 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.91.
28. Delaware has a Chefs and Head Cooks median of $61,440 per year, 590 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.95.
30. North Carolina has a Chefs and Head Cooks median of $61,130 per year, 4,920 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.77.
Pay leaders
Where Chefs and Head Cooks medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 35-1011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Rhode Island has the highest published median in this set, at $79,930 per year. Wisconsin sits at $61,300 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. Rhode Island has a Chefs and Head Cooks median of $79,930 per year, or $18,630 above Wisconsin. BLS lists 740 jobs there, compared with 1,860 in Wisconsin. The location quotient is 1.15.
2. Hawaii has a Chefs and Head Cooks median of $77,360 per year, or $16,060 above Wisconsin. BLS lists 1,240 jobs there, compared with 1,860 in Wisconsin. The location quotient is 1.53.
3. District of Columbia has a Chefs and Head Cooks median of $76,420 per year, or $15,120 above Wisconsin. BLS lists 2,020 jobs there, compared with 1,860 in Wisconsin. The location quotient is 2.23.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Chefs and Head Cooks jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Chefs and Head Cooks in this same-source set, at 31,670 jobs. Wisconsin has 1,860. 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. California has 31,670 estimated Chefs and Head Cooks jobs, a gap of 29,810 jobs from Wisconsin. Its median is $64,500 per year, or $3,200 above Wisconsin. Its location quotient is 1.35.
2. Florida has 19,670 estimated Chefs and Head Cooks jobs, a gap of 17,810 jobs from Wisconsin. Its median is $58,240 per year, or $3,060 below Wisconsin. Its location quotient is 1.54.
3. New York has 17,430 estimated Chefs and Head Cooks jobs, a gap of 15,570 jobs from Wisconsin. Its median is $70,670 per year, or $9,370 above Wisconsin. Its location quotient is 1.4.
Local-share leaders
Where Chefs and Head Cooks takes the largest share of local jobs
Virgin Islands (territory) has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 6.24. Wisconsin has 0.49. 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. Virgin Islands (territory) has a location quotient of 6.24, a gap of 5.75 from Wisconsin. BLS lists 260 Chefs and Head Cooks jobs and a median of $63,960 per year, or $2,660 above Wisconsin.
2. District of Columbia has a location quotient of 2.23, a gap of 1.74 from Wisconsin. BLS lists 2,020 Chefs and Head Cooks jobs and a median of $76,420 per year, or $15,120 above Wisconsin.
3. Nevada has a location quotient of 1.97, a gap of 1.48 from Wisconsin. BLS lists 3,940 Chefs and Head Cooks jobs and a median of $62,380 per year, or $1,080 above Wisconsin.
Job scale and share
How common Chefs and Head Cooks is in Wisconsin
BLS lists 1,860 Chefs and Head Cooks jobs in Wisconsin. It also lists 0.63 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 0.49. 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 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.
Chefs and Head Cooks beside other roles in Wisconsin
The all-occupations median in Wisconsin is $50,270 per year. The Chefs and Head Cooks median is $61,300 per year. Chefs and Head Cooks 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 Wisconsin. 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. Elementary School Teachers, Except Special Education, SOC 25-2021, has a Wisconsin median of $61,210 per year. BLS lists 24,920 jobs and a location quotient of 0.95.
2. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers, SOC 53-3032, has a Wisconsin median of $58,610 per year. BLS lists 53,330 jobs and a location quotient of 1.37.
3. Sales Representatives of Services, Except Advertising, Insurance, Financial Services, and Travel, SOC 41-3091, has a Wisconsin median of $64,020 per year. BLS lists 22,720 jobs and a location quotient of 0.96.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Wisconsin
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Wisconsin table, at 82,430 jobs. Chefs and Head Cooks has 1,860 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 2,941,540. 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. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 82,430 jobs in Wisconsin, a gap of 80,570 from Chefs and Head Cooks. Its median is $36,340 per year, or $24,960 below Chefs and Head Cooks. Its location quotient is 1.01.
2. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 70,520 jobs in Wisconsin, a gap of 68,660 from Chefs and Head Cooks. Its median is $44,610 per year, or $16,690 below Chefs and Head Cooks. Its location quotient is 1.26.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Wisconsin
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Wisconsin role table, at $122,660 per year. Chefs and Head Cooks has $61,300 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $50,270 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 $122,660 per year in Wisconsin, or $61,360 above Chefs and Head Cooks. BLS lists 21,730 jobs, compared with 1,860 for Chefs and Head Cooks. Its location quotient is 0.68.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $118,730 per year in Wisconsin, or $57,430 above Chefs and Head Cooks. BLS lists 36,910 jobs, compared with 1,860 for Chefs and Head Cooks. Its location quotient is 0.56.
3. Project Management Specialists has a median of $97,580 per year in Wisconsin, or $36,280 above Chefs and Head Cooks. BLS lists 21,610 jobs, compared with 1,860 for Chefs and Head Cooks. Its location quotient is 1.07.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Wisconsin
Bartenders has the highest location quotient in the bounded Wisconsin role table, at 2.06. Chefs and Head Cooks has 0.49. 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. Bartenders has a location quotient of 2.06 in Wisconsin, a gap of 1.57 from Chefs and Head Cooks. BLS lists 29,520 jobs and a median of $23,460 per year, or $37,840 below Chefs and Head Cooks.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Production and Operating Workers has a location quotient of 2 in Wisconsin, a gap of 1.51 from Chefs and Head Cooks. BLS lists 25,500 jobs and a median of $74,840 per year, or $13,540 above Chefs and Head Cooks.
3. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 1.74 in Wisconsin, a gap of 1.25 from Chefs and Head Cooks. BLS lists 46,360 jobs and a median of $45,670 per year, or $15,630 below Chefs and Head Cooks.
Price-level view
What $61,300 may mean after the Wisconsin price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Wisconsin is 94.1. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 5.9% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $61,300 Chefs and Head Cooks median by 94.1 divided by 100. The result is $65,147 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 79.3. Goods are 94.3. Utilities are 89.9. Other services are 99.5. 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 10.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.2%. 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 1,860 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $64,210 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 Wisconsin 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 $61,300 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 Wisconsin 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 1,860 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.49 is not a growth score. Rank 29 of 53 is not a place score. The 94.1 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 55. 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 1,860 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.
