Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area was 18.3% below the U.S. median for Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. It ranked 94 of 137 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 Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median says in Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median in Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area at $30,590 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 35-2012 and BLS area 4800005.
BLS lists 110 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 $31,380 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area's Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median is 18.3% below the U.S. Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median of $37,450 on the same published median. Both values use the same job code and source date. They do not account for prices, taxes, benefits, hours, or your work history.

Same-source checks
Compare Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $30,590 per year. Texas has $35,360 per year. The U.S. row has $37,450 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area is 13.5% below Texas on the same published median. Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area is 18.3% 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 Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area sits for Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria
Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area ranks 94 of 137 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 94 of 137 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.
91. North Georgia nonmetropolitan area. The Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median is $31,240 per year. BLS estimates 310 jobs. The location quotient is 0.58.
92. South Central Tennessee nonmetropolitan area. The Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median is $31,040 per year. BLS estimates 700 jobs. The location quotient is 2.25.
93. Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. The Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median is $30,660 per year. BLS estimates 510 jobs. The location quotient is 0.95.
Pay leaders
Where Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 35-2012, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $56,480 per year. Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area sits at $30,590 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, Institution and Cafeteria 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. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has a Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median of $56,480 per year, or $25,890 above Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 240 jobs there, compared with 110 in Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.81.
2. Alaska nonmetropolitan area has a Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median of $48,520 per year, or $17,930 above Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 730 jobs there, compared with 110 in Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 2.37.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria jobs
Kansas nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria in this same-source set, at 3,200 jobs. Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has 110. 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 3,200 estimated Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria jobs, a gap of 3,090 jobs from Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $30,190 per year, or $400 below Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 3.01.
2. West Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area has 1,630 estimated Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria jobs, a gap of 1,520 jobs from Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $34,270 per year, or $3,680 above Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 3.39.
Local-share leaders
Where Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria takes the largest share of local jobs
Puerto Rico nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 5.08. Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has 0.86. 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, Institution and Cafeteria 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. Puerto Rico nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 5.08, a gap of 4.22 from Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 420 Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria jobs and a median of $28,850 per year, or $1,740 below Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area.
2. Northwest Oklahoma nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 4.3, a gap of 3.44 from Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 1,190 Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria jobs and a median of $26,870 per year, or $3,720 below Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria is in Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 110 Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria jobs in Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 2.44 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 0.86. A value of 1 means Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria 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
Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria beside other roles in Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area is $44,640 per year. The Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median is $30,590 per year. Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria is 31.5% 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 Border Region of Texas 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 Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. 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. Customer Service Representatives, SOC 43-4051, has a Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area median of $31,790 per year. BLS lists 770 jobs and a location quotient of 0.98.
2. Retail Salespersons, SOC 41-2031, has a Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area median of $29,180 per year. BLS lists 1,070 jobs and a location quotient of 0.91.
3. Teaching Assistants, Except Postsecondary, SOC 25-9045, has a Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area median of $28,800 per year. BLS lists 740 jobs and a location quotient of 1.72.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area table, at 1,840 jobs. Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria has 110 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 46,910. 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, Institution and Cafeteria's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 1,840 jobs in Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1,730 from Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. Its median is $24,130 per year, or $6,460 below Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. Its location quotient is 1.58.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 1,750 jobs in Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1,640 from Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. Its median is $22,790 per year, or $7,800 below Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. Its location quotient is 1.35.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area
Managers, All Other has the highest published median in the bounded Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area role table, at $122,930 per year. Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria has $30,590 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $44,640 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. Managers, All Other has a median of $122,930 per year in Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area, or $92,340 above Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. BLS lists 360 jobs, compared with 110 for Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. Its location quotient is 1.94.
2. Detectives and Criminal Investigators has a median of $94,520 per year in Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area, or $63,930 above Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. BLS lists 1,160 jobs, compared with 110 for Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. Its location quotient is 33.69.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area
Detectives and Criminal Investigators has the highest location quotient in the bounded Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area role table, at 33.69. Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria has 0.86. 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, Institution and Cafeteria with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Detectives and Criminal Investigators has a location quotient of 33.69 in Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 32.83 from Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. BLS lists 1,160 jobs and a median of $94,520 per year, or $63,930 above Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria.
2. Roustabouts, Oil and Gas has a location quotient of 31.67 in Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 30.81 from Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. BLS lists 430 jobs and a median of $43,850 per year, or $13,260 above Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria.
Price-level view
What $30,590 may mean after the Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $30,590 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 Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria 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 Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria row is 11%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.2%. 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 110 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $31,380 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 Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. It uses a Border Region of Texas 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 $30,590 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 Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria row for Border Region of Texas 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 110 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.86 is not a growth score. Rank 94 of 137 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 35-2012 in BLS area 4800005. 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 Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria jobs does BLS estimate in Border Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area?
BLS estimates 110 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.
