West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area was 10.4% below the U.S. median for Child, Family, and School Social Workers. It ranked 73 of 133 nonmetro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Child, Family, and School Social Workers median says in West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Child, Family, and School Social Workers median in West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area at $53,370 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 21-1021 and BLS area 4600003.
BLS lists 400 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 $54,330 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area's Child, Family, and School Social Workers median is 10.4% below the U.S. Child, Family, and School Social Workers median of $59,550 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.
Exact source record
Read source key 21-1021 with area 4600003
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 21-1021 and area 4600003. SOC 21-1021 names Child, Family, and School Social Workers. Area 4600003 names West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 21-1021/4600003 row reports 400 wage and salary jobs, 6.41 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 2.54 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 21-1021/4600003, the annual median is $53,370 per year, while the matching mean is $54,330 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.

The 75th percentile is $61,010. This is a place check, not a pay range for Child, Family, and School Social Workers.
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 4600003. They do not show related skills or a path into Child, Family, and School Social Workers.
1. Area 4600003, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 2,610 jobs, $29,290 annual median, 41.46 jobs per 1,000, and 2.09 location quotient.

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 $47,130 per year to $57,870 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $29,510. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $53,370 per year. South Dakota has $51,100 per year. The U.S. row has $59,550 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area is 4.4% above South Dakota on the same published median. West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area is 10.4% 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area sits for Child, Family, and School Social Workers
West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area ranks 73 of 133 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Child, Family, and School Social Workers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 73 of 133 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.
70. Kansas nonmetropolitan area has a Child, Family, and School Social Workers median of $54,310 per year, 760 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.8.
71. Eastern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has a Child, Family, and School Social Workers median of $54,170 per year, 190 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.65.
72. East Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has a Child, Family, and School Social Workers median of $53,740 per year, 1,070 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 4.63.
Pay leaders
Where Child, Family, and School Social Workers medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 21-1021, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Maryland nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $79,730 per year. West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area sits at $53,370 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Child, Family, and School Social Workers 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. Maryland nonmetropolitan area has a Child, Family, and School Social Workers median of $79,730 per year, or $26,360 above West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 280 jobs there, compared with 400 in West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.97.
2. Connecticut nonmetropolitan area has a Child, Family, and School Social Workers median of $78,800 per year, or $25,430 above West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 190 jobs there, compared with 400 in West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 1.11.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Child, Family, and School Social Workers jobs
Southeast Oklahoma nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Child, Family, and School Social Workers in this same-source set, at 1,160 jobs. West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area has 400. 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. Southeast Oklahoma nonmetropolitan area has 1,160 estimated Child, Family, and School Social Workers jobs, a gap of 760 jobs from West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $43,950 per year, or $9,420 below West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 2.46.
2. Eastern North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has 1,130 estimated Child, Family, and School Social Workers jobs, a gap of 730 jobs from West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $51,940 per year, or $1,430 below West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.7.
Local-share leaders
Where Child, Family, and School Social Workers takes the largest share of local jobs
East Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 4.63. West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area has 2.54. 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 Child, Family, and School Social Workers 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. East Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 4.63, a gap of 2.09 from West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 1,070 Child, Family, and School Social Workers jobs and a median of $53,740 per year, or $370 above West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area.
2. Northwest Nebraska nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 2.92, a gap of 0.38 from West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 290 Child, Family, and School Social Workers jobs and a median of $46,410 per year, or $6,960 below West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Child, Family, and School Social Workers is in West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 400 Child, Family, and School Social Workers jobs in West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 6.41 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 2.54. A value of 1 means Child, Family, and School Social Workers 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.
Local job mix
Child, Family, and School Social Workers beside other roles in West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area is $45,530 per year. The Child, Family, and School Social Workers median is $53,370 per year. Child, Family, and School Social Workers is 17.2% 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 West South Dakota 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 Child, Family, and School Social Workers. 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 West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area median of $53,350 per year. BLS lists 1,000 jobs and a location quotient of 1.77.
2. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers, SOC 53-3032, has a West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area median of $54,080 per year. BLS lists 790 jobs and a location quotient of 0.95.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area
Cashiers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area table, at 2,610 jobs. Child, Family, and School Social Workers has 400 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 62,880. 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 Child, Family, and School Social Workers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Cashiers has 2,610 jobs in West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 2,210 from Child, Family, and School Social Workers. Its median is $29,290 per year, or $24,080 below Child, Family, and School Social Workers. Its location quotient is 2.09.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 1,990 jobs in West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1,590 from Child, Family, and School Social Workers. Its median is $28,870 per year, or $24,500 below Child, Family, and School Social Workers. Its location quotient is 1.28.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area role table, at $124,530 per year. Child, Family, and School Social Workers has $53,370 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $45,530 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 $124,530 per year in West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area, or $71,160 above Child, Family, and School Social Workers. BLS lists 600 jobs, compared with 400 for Child, Family, and School Social Workers. Its location quotient is 0.42.
2. Management Analysts has a median of $82,380 per year in West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area, or $29,010 above Child, Family, and School Social Workers. BLS lists 600 jobs, compared with 400 for Child, Family, and School Social Workers. Its location quotient is 1.65.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area
Highway Maintenance Workers has the highest location quotient in the bounded West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area role table, at 9.44. Child, Family, and School Social Workers has 2.54. 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 Child, Family, and School Social Workers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Highway Maintenance Workers has a location quotient of 9.44 in West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 6.90 from Child, Family, and School Social Workers. BLS lists 590 jobs and a median of $48,380 per year, or $4,990 below Child, Family, and School Social Workers.
2. Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks has a location quotient of 4.85 in West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 2.31 from Child, Family, and School Social Workers. BLS lists 510 jobs and a median of $30,340 per year, or $23,030 below Child, Family, and School Social Workers.
Price-level view
What $53,370 may mean after the West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $53,370 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 Child, Family, and School Social Workers 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.
Data care
How much care to use with the West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Child, Family, and School Social Workers row is 5.3%. 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 400 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $54,330 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.
Job and résumé path
Use West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Child, Family, and School Social Workers. It uses a West South Dakota 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 $53,370 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.
Limits
What the Child, Family, and School Social Workers row for West South Dakota 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 400 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 2.54 is not a growth score. Rank 73 of 133 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 21-1021 in BLS area 4600003. 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.
How many Child, Family, and School Social Workers jobs does BLS estimate in West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area?
BLS published an employment estimate of 400 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.
