What the Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median says in Montana
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median in Montana at $37,150 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 30.
BLS lists 2,290 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 $38,950 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Montana's Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median is 0.8% below the U.S. Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median of $37,450 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 35-2012 and area 30. SOC 35-2012 names Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. Area 30 names Montana. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 35-2012/30 row reports 2,290 wage and salary jobs, 4.48 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.58 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 35-2012/30, the annual median is $37,150 per year, while the matching mean is $38,950 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 30 facts behind this Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria page
Area 30 reports 511,580 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $60,880. Its annual median is $48,740. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 35-2012 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Montana runs from $29,390 at the 10th percentile to $100,610 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $37,210. The median is $48,740. The 75th percentile is $72,640. This is a place check, not a pay range for Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria.
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 30. They do not show related skills or a path into Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria.
1. Area 30, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 14,960 jobs, $29,090 annual median, 29.24 jobs per 1,000, and 1.18 location quotient.
2. Area 30, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 13,490 jobs, $36,270 annual median, 26.36 jobs per 1,000, and 1.05 location quotient.
3. Area 30, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 12,170 jobs, $34,190 annual median, 23.79 jobs per 1,000, and 1.2 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Montana wage ladder for Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria
The 10th percentile is $30,500 per year. The 25th percentile is $33,540 per year. The median is $37,150 per year. The 75th percentile is $42,900 per year. The 90th percentile is $50,600 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 $33,540 per year to $42,900 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $20,100. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Montana has a annual median of $37,150 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $37,450 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Montana. Montana is 0.8% 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 Montana sits for Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria
Montana ranks 26 of 54 among states and territories 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 26 of 54 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.
23. Utah has a Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median of $38,200 per year, 5,610 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.14.
24. Virginia has a Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median of $37,890 per year, 11,170 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.96.
25. Illinois has a Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median of $37,440 per year, 22,840 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.32.
27. Wyoming has a Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median of $36,940 per year, 1,570 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.97.
Pay leaders
Where Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 35-2012, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Washington has the highest published median in this set, at $49,670 per year. Montana sits at $37,150 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 care marks, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. Washington has a Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median of $49,670 per year, or $12,520 above Montana. BLS lists 9,780 jobs there, compared with 2,290 in Montana. The location quotient is 0.97.
2. Alaska has a Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median of $48,580 per year, or $11,430 above Montana. BLS lists 1,430 jobs there, compared with 2,290 in Montana. The location quotient is 1.55.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria in this same-source set, at 31,660 jobs. Montana has 2,290. 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. California has 31,660 estimated Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria jobs, a gap of 29,370 jobs from Montana. Its median is $46,390 per year, or $9,240 above Montana. Its location quotient is 0.61.
2. Florida has 25,100 estimated Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria jobs, a gap of 22,810 jobs from Montana. Its median is $36,250 per year, or $900 below Montana. Its location quotient is 0.89.
Local-share leaders
Where Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria takes the largest share of local jobs
Puerto Rico has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.63. Montana has 1.58. 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 has a location quotient of 2.63, a gap of 1.05 from Montana. BLS lists 7,000 Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria jobs and a median of $26,260 per year, or $10,890 below Montana.
2. Oklahoma has a location quotient of 2.23, a gap of 0.65 from Montana. BLS lists 10,790 Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria jobs and a median of $29,270 per year, or $7,880 below Montana.
3. West Virginia has a location quotient of 2.22, a gap of 0.64 from Montana. BLS lists 4,420 Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria jobs and a median of $29,740 per year, or $7,410 below Montana.
Job scale and share
How common Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria is in Montana
BLS lists 2,290 Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria jobs in Montana. It also lists 4.48 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 1.58. 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 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.
Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria beside other roles in Montana
The all-occupations median in Montana is $48,740 per year. The Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median is $37,150 per year. Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria is 23.8% 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 Montana. 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. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners, SOC 37-2011, has a Montana median of $37,110 per year. BLS lists 8,320 jobs and a location quotient of 1.14.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides, SOC 31-1120, has a Montana median of $36,630 per year. BLS lists 10,400 jobs and a location quotient of 0.73.
3. Retail Salespersons, SOC 41-2031, has a Montana median of $36,270 per year. BLS lists 13,490 jobs and a location quotient of 1.05.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Montana
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Montana table, at 14,960 jobs. Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria has 2,290 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 511,580. 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 14,960 jobs in Montana, a gap of 12,670 from Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. Its median is $29,090 per year, or $8,060 below Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. Its location quotient is 1.18.
2. Retail Salespersons has 13,490 jobs in Montana, a gap of 11,200 from Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. Its median is $36,270 per year, or $880 below Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. Its location quotient is 1.05.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Montana
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Montana role table, at $91,380 per year. Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria has $37,150 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,740 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 $91,380 per year in Montana, or $54,230 above Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. BLS lists 11,840 jobs, compared with 2,290 for Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. Its location quotient is 1.03.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $85,280 per year in Montana, or $48,130 above Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. BLS lists 10,950 jobs, compared with 2,290 for Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. Its location quotient is 0.99.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Montana
Bartenders has the highest location quotient in the bounded Montana role table, at 2.16. Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria has 1.58. 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. Bartenders has a location quotient of 2.16 in Montana, a gap of 0.58 from Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. BLS lists 5,370 jobs and a median of $26,010 per year, or $11,140 below Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria.
2. Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners has a location quotient of 1.9 in Montana, a gap of 0.32 from Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria. BLS lists 5,380 jobs and a median of $35,740 per year, or $1,410 below Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria.
Price-level view
What $37,150 may mean after the Montana price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Montana is 94.6. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 5.4% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $37,150 Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria median by 94.6 divided by 100. The result is $39,252 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 84.6. Goods are 96.0. Utilities are 72.3. Other services are 98.7. 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, Institution and Cafeteria row is 4%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.9%. 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 2,290 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $38,950 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, Institution and Cafeteria. It uses a Montana 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 $37,150 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, Institution and Cafeteria row for Montana 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 2,290 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.58 is not a growth score. Rank 26 of 54 is not a place score. The 94.6 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 30. 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 2,290 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.
