Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area was 14.7% below the U.S. median for Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders. It ranked 113 of 120 nonmetro areas. We rank only areas with a published annual median. These pay gaps leave out prices, benefits, and skills. They also leave out the mix of firms and work hours.
What the Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders median says in Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders median in Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area at $41,160 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 51-9124 and BLS area 5400002.
BLS lists 80 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 $44,000 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area's Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders median is 14.7% below the U.S. Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders median of $48,250 on the same published median.

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 $35,100 per year to $49,040 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $21,690. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $41,160 per year. West Virginia has $42,950 per year. The U.S. row has $48,250 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area is 4.2% below West Virginia on the same published median. Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area is 14.7% 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 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area sits for Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders
Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area ranks 113 of 120 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 113 of 120 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.
110. East Arkansas nonmetropolitan area. The Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders median is $42,060 per year. BLS estimates 220 jobs. The location quotient is 3.23.
111. South Georgia nonmetropolitan area. The Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders median is $41,730 per year. BLS estimates 380 jobs. The location quotient is 1.95.
112. Southeast-Central Idaho nonmetropolitan area. The Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders median is $41,600 per year. BLS estimates 100 jobs. The location quotient is 1.05.
Pay leaders
Where Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 51-9124, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Southern Ohio nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $82,360 per year. Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area sits at $41,160 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders 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.
1. Southern Ohio nonmetropolitan area has a Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders median of $82,360 per year, or $41,200 above Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 340 jobs there, compared with 80 in Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 2.02.
2. Alaska nonmetropolitan area has a Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders median of $81,620 per year, or $40,460 above Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 60 jobs there, compared with 80 in Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.52.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders jobs
Kansas nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders in this same-source set, at 1,050 jobs. Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area has 80. 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. Kansas nonmetropolitan area has 1,050 estimated Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders jobs, a gap of 970 jobs from Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $44,930 per year, or $3,770 above Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 2.74.
2. Northern Indiana nonmetropolitan area has 1,010 estimated Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders jobs, a gap of 930 jobs from Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $44,410 per year, or $3,250 above Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 4.72.
Local-share leaders
Where Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders takes the largest share of local jobs
Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 5.73. Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area has 0.52. 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 Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders 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. Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 5.73, a gap of 5.21 from Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 400 Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders jobs and a median of $45,350 per year, or $4,190 above Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area.
2. Northeast Alabama nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 5.22, a gap of 4.70 from Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 810 Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders jobs and a median of $40,590 per year, or $570 below Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders is in Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 80 Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders jobs in Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 0.53 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 0.52. A value of 1 means Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders 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.
Local job mix
Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders beside other roles in Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area is $43,540 per year. The Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders median is $41,160 per year. Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders is 5.5% 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 Northern West Virginia 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 Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders. 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. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks, SOC 43-3031, has a Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area median of $41,390 per year. BLS lists 1,690 jobs and a location quotient of 1.32.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area table, at 4,870 jobs. Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders has 80 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 145,750. 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 Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 4,870 jobs in Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 4,790 from Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders. Its median is $28,010 per year, or $13,150 below Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders. Its location quotient is 1.21.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area
First-Line Supervisors of Construction Trades and Extraction Workers has the highest published median in the bounded Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area role table, at $79,150 per year. Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders has $41,160 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $43,540 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. First-Line Supervisors of Construction Trades and Extraction Workers has a median of $79,150 per year in Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area, or $37,990 above Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders. BLS lists 1,310 jobs, compared with 80 for Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders. Its location quotient is 1.72.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $79,150 per year in Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area, or $37,990 above Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area
Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area role table, at 6.26. Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders has 0.52. 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 Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Cooks, Fast Food has a location quotient of 6.26 in Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 5.74 from Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders. BLS lists 3,760 jobs and a median of $22,970 per year, or $18,190 below Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders.
2. Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has a location quotient of 4.69 in Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 4.17 from Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders.

Price-level view
What $41,160 may mean after the Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $41,160 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 Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders 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 Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders row is 11.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.6%. 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 80 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $44,000 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 Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders. It uses a Northern West Virginia 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 $41,160 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 Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders row for Northern West Virginia 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 80 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.52 is not a growth score. Rank 113 of 120 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 51-9124 in BLS area 5400002. 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 Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders jobs does BLS estimate in Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area?
BLS estimates 80 wage and salary jobs for this row. This is a survey estimate. It does not count open jobs or predict future hiring.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. We show job posts in a separate list. Each has its own source and check date. Posted pay does not change the BLS pay data.
