WageScope divides the published Cooks, Fast Food 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 35-2011 and BLS area 17900.

Columbia, SC was 25.9% below the U.S. median for Cooks, Fast Food. It ranked 294 of 308 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Cooks, Fast Food median says in Columbia, SC
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Cooks, Fast Food median in Columbia, SC at $22,880 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 35-2011 and BLS area 17900.
BLS lists 1,500 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 $26,500 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Columbia, SC's Cooks, Fast Food median is 25.9% below the U.S. Cooks, Fast Food median of $30,890 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 35-2011 and area 17900. SOC 35-2011 names Cooks, Fast Food. Area 17900 names Columbia, SC. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 35-2011/17900 row reports 1,500 wage and salary jobs, 3.81 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.92 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 35-2011/17900, the annual median is $22,880 per year, while the matching mean is $26,500 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 17900 facts behind this Cooks, Fast Food page
Area 17900 reports 394,200 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $59,030. Its annual median is $46,430. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 35-2011 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Columbia, SC runs from $27,330 at the 10th percentile to $101,760 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $34,950. The median is $46,430. The 75th percentile is $69,250. This is a place check, not a pay range for Cooks, Fast Food.
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 17900. They do not show related skills or a path into Cooks, Fast Food.
1. Area 17900, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 11,640 jobs, $27,170 annual median, 29.54 jobs per 1,000, and 1.19 location quotient.
2. Area 17900, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 10,860 jobs, $29,540 annual median, 27.55 jobs per 1,000, and 1.1 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Columbia, SC wage ladder for Cooks, Fast Food
The 10th percentile is $22,030 per year. The 25th percentile is $22,630 per year. The median is $22,880 per year. The 75th percentile is $29,070 per year. The 90th percentile is $35,950 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 $22,630 per year to $29,070 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $13,920. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Columbia, SC has a annual median of $22,880 per year. South Carolina has $27,420 per year. The U.S. row has $30,890 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Columbia, SC is 16.6% below South Carolina on the same published median. Columbia, SC is 25.9% 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.
Columbia, SC ranks 294 of 308 among metro areas with a published annual median for Cooks, Fast Food. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 294 of 308 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.
291. Wheeling, WV-OH has a Cooks, Fast Food median of $23,110 per year, 810 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 3.38.
292. Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX has a Cooks, Fast Food median of $23,090 per year, 7,950 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.59.
293. Jacksonville, NC has a Cooks, Fast Food median of $22,900 per year, 1,830 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 8.45.
295. Arecibo, PR has a Cooks, Fast Food median of $22,840 per year, 170 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.2.
Pay leaders
Where Cooks, Fast Food medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 35-2011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has the highest published median in this set, at $47,220 per year. Columbia, SC sits at $22,880 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Cooks, Fast Food 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. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a Cooks, Fast Food median of $47,220 per year, or $24,340 above Columbia, SC. BLS lists 4,790 jobs there, compared with 1,500 in Columbia, SC. The location quotient is 1.02.
2. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA has a Cooks, Fast Food median of $46,670 per year, or $23,790 above Columbia, SC. BLS lists 10,160 jobs there, compared with 1,500 in Columbia, SC. The location quotient is 1.04.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Cooks, Fast Food jobs
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has the largest published metro job estimate for Cooks, Fast Food in this same-source set, at 48,440 jobs. Columbia, SC has 1,500. 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. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 48,440 estimated Cooks, Fast Food jobs, a gap of 46,940 jobs from Columbia, SC. Its median is $38,000 per year, or $15,120 above Columbia, SC. Its location quotient is 1.87.
2. St. Louis, MO-IL has 17,700 estimated Cooks, Fast Food jobs, a gap of 16,200 jobs from Columbia, SC. Its median is $30,860 per year, or $7,980 above Columbia, SC. Its location quotient is 3.2.
Local-share leaders
Where Cooks, Fast Food takes the largest share of local jobs
Jacksonville, NC has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 8.45. Columbia, SC has 0.92. 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 Cooks, Fast Food 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. Jacksonville, NC has a location quotient of 8.45, a gap of 7.53 from Columbia, SC. BLS lists 1,830 Cooks, Fast Food jobs and a median of $22,900 per year, or $20 above Columbia, SC.
2. Parkersburg-Vienna, WV has a location quotient of 7.49, a gap of 6.57 from Columbia, SC. BLS lists 1,120 Cooks, Fast Food jobs and a median of $22,780 per year, or $100 below Columbia, SC.
3. Fayetteville, NC has a location quotient of 7.19, a gap of 6.27 from Columbia, SC. BLS lists 3,890 Cooks, Fast Food jobs and a median of $23,430 per year, or $550 above Columbia, SC.
Job scale and share
How common Cooks, Fast Food is in Columbia, SC
BLS lists 1,500 Cooks, Fast Food jobs in Columbia, SC. It also lists 3.81 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 0.92. A value of 1 means Cooks, Fast Food 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.
Cooks, Fast Food beside other roles in Columbia, SC
The all-occupations median in Columbia, SC is $46,430 per year. The Cooks, Fast Food median is $22,880 per year. Cooks, Fast Food is 50.7% 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 Columbia, SC. 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 Cooks, Fast Food. 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. Fast Food and Counter Workers, SOC 35-3023, has a Columbia, SC median of $27,170 per year. BLS lists 11,640 jobs and a location quotient of 1.19.
2. Cashiers, SOC 41-2011, has a Columbia, SC median of $27,830 per year. BLS lists 8,700 jobs and a location quotient of 1.11.
3. Waiters and Waitresses, SOC 35-3031, has a Columbia, SC median of $17,810 per year. BLS lists 6,580 jobs and a location quotient of 1.14.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Columbia, SC
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Columbia, SC table, at 11,640 jobs. Cooks, Fast Food has 1,500 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 394,200. 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 Cooks, Fast Food's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 11,640 jobs in Columbia, SC, a gap of 10,140 from Cooks, Fast Food. Its median is $27,170 per year, or $4,290 above Cooks, Fast Food. Its location quotient is 1.19.
2. Retail Salespersons has 10,860 jobs in Columbia, SC, a gap of 9,360 from Cooks, Fast Food. Its median is $29,540 per year, or $6,660 above Cooks, Fast Food. Its location quotient is 1.1.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Columbia, SC
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Columbia, SC role table, at $103,950 per year. Cooks, Fast Food has $22,880 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,430 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 $103,950 per year in Columbia, SC, or $81,070 above Cooks, Fast Food. BLS lists 4,890 jobs, compared with 1,500 for Cooks, Fast Food. Its location quotient is 0.55.
2. Management Analysts has a median of $93,250 per year in Columbia, SC, or $70,370 above Cooks, Fast Food. BLS lists 3,120 jobs, compared with 1,500 for Cooks, Fast Food. Its location quotient is 1.37.
3. Registered Nurses has a median of $81,920 per year in Columbia, SC, or $59,040 above Cooks, Fast Food. BLS lists 9,400 jobs, compared with 1,500 for Cooks, Fast Food. Its location quotient is 1.1.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Columbia, SC
First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Columbia, SC role table, at 1.68. Cooks, Fast Food has 0.92. 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 Cooks, Fast Food with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers has a location quotient of 1.68 in Columbia, SC, a gap of 0.76 from Cooks, Fast Food. BLS lists 6,120 jobs and a median of $62,230 per year, or $39,350 above Cooks, Fast Food.
2. Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers has a location quotient of 1.67 in Columbia, SC, a gap of 0.75 from Cooks, Fast Food. BLS lists 2,840 jobs and a median of $59,260 per year, or $36,380 above Cooks, Fast Food.
Price-level view
What $22,880 may mean after the Columbia, SC price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Columbia, SC is 93.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 6.3% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $22,880 Cooks, Fast Food median by 93.7 divided by 100. The result is $24,428 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 79.5. Goods are 96.3. Utilities are 88.3. Other services are 98.3. 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 Cooks, Fast Food row is 20%. The mean-wage RSE is 4%. 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 1,500 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $26,500 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 Cooks, Fast Food. It uses a Columbia, SC 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 $22,880 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 Cooks, Fast Food row for Columbia, SC 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 1,500 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.92 is not a growth score. Rank 294 of 308 is not a place score. The 93.7 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 35-2011 in BLS area 17900. 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 1,500 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.
