Questions, answered
Chemists pay in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area: common questions
What is the median wage for Chemists in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $79,040 per year for Chemists in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.

Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area was 13.4% below the U.S. median for Chemists. It ranked 36 of 52 nonmetro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Chemists median says in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Chemists median in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area at $79,040 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 19-2031 and BLS area 4200003.
BLS lists 90 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 $99,930 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area's Chemists median is 13.4% below the U.S. Chemists median of $91,240 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 19-2031 and area 4200003. SOC 19-2031 names Chemists. Area 4200003 names Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 19-2031/4200003 row reports 90 wage and salary jobs, 0.47 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.88 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 19-2031/4200003, the annual median is $79,040 per year, while the matching mean is $99,930 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
19-2031/4200003 10th percentile: $58,250 per year.
19-2031/4200003 25th percentile: $70,660 per year.
19-2031/4200003 median: $79,040 per year.
19-2031/4200003 75th percentile: $126,400 per year.
19-2031/4200003 90th percentile: $169,810 per year.
Area 4200003 reports 187,680 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $55,290. Its annual median is $46,510. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.4%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 19-2031 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area runs from $27,750 at the 10th percentile to $92,260 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,530. The median is $46,510. The 75th percentile is $63,310. This is a place check, not a pay range for Chemists.
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 4200003. They do not show related skills or a path into Chemists.
1. Area 4200003, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 5,900 jobs, $28,920 annual median, 31.43 jobs per 1,000, and 1.14 location quotient.
2. Area 4200003, SOC 53-7065, Stockers and Order Fillers: 5,840 jobs, $36,480 annual median, 31.14 jobs per 1,000, and 1.71 location quotient.
3. Area 4200003, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 5,180 jobs, $26,770 annual median, 27.57 jobs per 1,000, and 1.11 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area wage ladder for Chemists
The 10th percentile is $58,250 per year. The 25th percentile is $70,660 per year. The median is $79,040 per year. The 75th percentile is $126,400 per year. The 90th percentile is $169,810 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 $70,660 per year to $126,400 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $111,560. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $79,040 per year. Pennsylvania has $77,090 per year. The U.S. row has $91,240 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area is 2.5% above Pennsylvania on the same published median. Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area is 13.4% 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 Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area sits for Chemists
Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area ranks 36 of 52 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Chemists. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 36 of 52 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.
33. Northeastern Wisconsin nonmetropolitan area has a Chemists median of $81,240 per year, 70 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.64.
34. Central East New York nonmetropolitan area has a Chemists median of $80,440 per year, 130 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.52.
35. North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area has a Chemists median of $79,750 per year, 30 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.58.
37. Western North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has a Chemists median of $78,330 per year, 80 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.57.
Pay leaders
Where Chemists medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 19-2031, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $127,120 per year. Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area sits at $79,040 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Chemists 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. Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area has a Chemists median of $127,120 per year, or $48,080 above Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 30 jobs there, compared with 90 in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.64.
2. West North Dakota nonmetropolitan area has a Chemists median of $118,870 per year, or $39,830 above Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 40 jobs there, compared with 90 in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.94.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Chemists jobs
Southern Michigan nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Chemists in this same-source set, at 300 jobs. Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area has 90. 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. Southern Michigan nonmetropolitan area has 300 estimated Chemists jobs, a gap of 210 jobs from Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $98,660 per year, or $19,620 above Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 4.21.
2. Central North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has 180 estimated Chemists jobs, a gap of 90 jobs from Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $93,660 per year, or $14,620 above Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.41.
Local-share leaders
Where Chemists takes the largest share of local jobs
Southern Michigan nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 4.21. Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area has 0.88. 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 Chemists 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. Southern Michigan nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 4.21, a gap of 3.33 from Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 300 Chemists jobs and a median of $98,660 per year, or $19,620 above Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area.
2. South Arkansas nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 2.34, a gap of 1.46 from Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 150 Chemists jobs and a median of $97,470 per year, or $18,430 above Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Chemists is in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 90 Chemists jobs in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 0.47 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 0.88. A value of 1 means Chemists 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.
Chemists beside other roles in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area is $46,510 per year. The Chemists median is $79,040 per year. Chemists is 69.9% 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 Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan 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 Chemists. 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. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area median of $84,340 per year. BLS lists 5,040 jobs and a location quotient of 1.24.
2. Correctional Officers and Jailers, SOC 33-3012, has a Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area median of $69,700 per year. BLS lists 1,690 jobs and a location quotient of 3.69.
3. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area median of $88,920 per year. BLS lists 4,300 jobs and a location quotient of 1.02.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area table, at 5,900 jobs. Chemists has 90 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 187,680. 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 Chemists's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 5,900 jobs in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 5,810 from Chemists. Its median is $28,920 per year, or $50,120 below Chemists. Its location quotient is 1.14.
2. Stockers and Order Fillers has 5,840 jobs in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 5,750 from Chemists. Its median is $36,480 per year, or $42,560 below Chemists. Its location quotient is 1.71.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area role table, at $88,920 per year. Chemists has $79,040 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,510 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. General and Operations Managers has a median of $88,920 per year in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area, or $9,880 above Chemists. BLS lists 4,300 jobs, compared with 90 for Chemists. Its location quotient is 1.02.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $84,340 per year in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area, or $5,300 above Chemists. BLS lists 5,040 jobs, compared with 90 for Chemists. Its location quotient is 1.24.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
Correctional Officers and Jailers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area role table, at 3.69. Chemists has 0.88. 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 Chemists with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Correctional Officers and Jailers has a location quotient of 3.69 in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 2.81 from Chemists. BLS lists 1,690 jobs and a median of $69,700 per year, or $9,340 below Chemists.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 2.75 in Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1.87 from Chemists. BLS lists 4,670 jobs and a median of $46,940 per year, or $32,100 below Chemists.
Price-level view
What $79,040 may mean after the Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $79,040 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 Chemists 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 Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Chemists row is 9.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 5.9%. 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 90 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $99,930 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 Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Chemists. It uses a Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan 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 $79,040 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 Chemists row for Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan 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 90 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.88 is not a growth score. Rank 36 of 52 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 19-2031 in BLS area 4200003. 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 90 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.
