WageScope divides the published Cooks, Restaurant 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 35-2014 and BLS area 26.

What the Cooks, Restaurant median says in Michigan
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Cooks, Restaurant median in Michigan at $36,980 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 35-2014 and BLS area 26.
BLS lists 39,100 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 $37,570 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Michigan's Cooks, Restaurant median is 1.1% below the U.S. Cooks, Restaurant median of $37,390 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 35-2014 and area 26. SOC 35-2014 names Cooks, Restaurant. Area 26 names Michigan. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 35-2014/26 row reports 39,100 wage and salary jobs, 8.88 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.98 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 35-2014/26, the annual median is $36,980 per year, while the matching mean is $37,570 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 26 facts behind this Cooks, Restaurant page
Area 26 reports 4,403,730 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $64,920. Its annual median is $49,270. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 35-2014 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Michigan runs from $30,290 at the 10th percentile to $110,650 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $37,070. The median is $49,270. The 75th percentile is $77,910. This is a place check, not a pay range for Cooks, Restaurant.
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 26. They do not show related skills or a path into Cooks, Restaurant.
1. Area 26, SOC 51-2090, Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators: 112,310 jobs, $44,690 annual median, 25.5 jobs per 1,000, and 2.82 location quotient.
2. Area 26, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 111,010 jobs, $34,640 annual median, 25.21 jobs per 1,000, and 1.01 location quotient.
3. Area 26, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 104,950 jobs, $94,300 annual median, 23.83 jobs per 1,000, and 1.1 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Michigan wage ladder for Cooks, Restaurant
The 10th percentile is $29,570 per year. The 25th percentile is $34,770 per year. The median is $36,980 per year. The 75th percentile is $42,850 per year. The 90th percentile is $46,030 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 $34,770 per year to $42,850 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $16,460. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Michigan has a annual median of $36,980 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $37,390 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Michigan. Michigan is 1.1% 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.
Michigan ranks 25 of 54 among states and territories with a published annual median for Cooks, Restaurant. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 25 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.
22. Virgin Islands (territory) has a Cooks, Restaurant median of $37,430 per year, 410 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.42.
23. Nebraska has a Cooks, Restaurant median of $37,030 per year, 4,750 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.51.
24. Florida has a Cooks, Restaurant median of $37,020 per year, 124,040 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.38.
26. Missouri has a Cooks, Restaurant median of $36,940 per year, 25,990 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.98.
Pay leaders
Where Cooks, Restaurant medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 35-2014, 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 $46,800 per year. Michigan sits at $36,980 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, Restaurant 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, Restaurant median of $46,800 per year, or $9,820 above Michigan. BLS lists 35,140 jobs there, compared with 39,100 in Michigan. The location quotient is 1.09.
2. District of Columbia has a Cooks, Restaurant median of $46,130 per year, or $9,150 above Michigan. BLS lists 7,720 jobs there, compared with 39,100 in Michigan. The location quotient is 1.21.
3. Massachusetts has a Cooks, Restaurant median of $45,600 per year, or $8,620 above Michigan. BLS lists 29,570 jobs there, compared with 39,100 in Michigan. The location quotient is 0.9.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Cooks, Restaurant jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Cooks, Restaurant in this same-source set, at 152,250 jobs. Michigan has 39,100. 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 152,250 estimated Cooks, Restaurant jobs, a gap of 113,150 jobs from Michigan. Its median is $44,880 per year, or $7,900 above Michigan. Its location quotient is 0.92.
2. Texas has 126,620 estimated Cooks, Restaurant jobs, a gap of 87,520 jobs from Michigan. Its median is $34,760 per year, or $2,220 below Michigan. Its location quotient is 0.99.
3. Florida has 124,040 estimated Cooks, Restaurant jobs, a gap of 84,940 jobs from Michigan. Its median is $37,020 per year, or $40 above Michigan. Its location quotient is 1.38.
Local-share leaders
Where Cooks, Restaurant takes the largest share of local jobs
Hawaii has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 1.95. Michigan has 0.98. 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, Restaurant 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. Hawaii has a location quotient of 1.95, a gap of 0.97 from Michigan. BLS lists 11,090 Cooks, Restaurant jobs and a median of $45,420 per year, or $8,440 above Michigan.
2. Nevada has a location quotient of 1.94, a gap of 0.96 from Michigan. BLS lists 27,250 Cooks, Restaurant jobs and a median of $38,610 per year, or $1,630 above Michigan.
3. Guam (territory) has a location quotient of 1.85, a gap of 0.87 from Michigan. BLS lists 1,110 Cooks, Restaurant jobs and a median of $22,950 per year, or $14,030 below Michigan.
Job scale and share
How common Cooks, Restaurant is in Michigan
BLS lists 39,100 Cooks, Restaurant jobs in Michigan. It also lists 8.88 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 0.98. A value of 1 means Cooks, Restaurant has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is the same 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.
The all-occupations median in Michigan is $49,270 per year. The Cooks, Restaurant median is $36,980 per year. Cooks, Restaurant is 24.9% 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 Michigan. 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, Restaurant. 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. Waiters and Waitresses, SOC 35-3031, has a Michigan median of $37,760 per year. BLS lists 65,090 jobs and a location quotient of 1.01.
2. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners, SOC 37-2011, has a Michigan median of $36,050 per year. BLS lists 65,790 jobs and a location quotient of 1.05.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers, SOC 35-1012, has a Michigan median of $37,940 per year. BLS lists 32,890 jobs and a location quotient of 0.95.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Michigan
Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Michigan table, at 112,310 jobs. Cooks, Restaurant has 39,100 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 4,403,730. 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, Restaurant's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has 112,310 jobs in Michigan, a gap of 73,210 from Cooks, Restaurant. Its median is $44,690 per year, or $7,710 above Cooks, Restaurant. Its location quotient is 2.82.
2. Retail Salespersons has 111,010 jobs in Michigan, a gap of 71,910 from Cooks, Restaurant. Its median is $34,640 per year, or $2,340 below Cooks, Restaurant. Its location quotient is 1.01.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Michigan
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Michigan role table, at $125,570 per year. Cooks, Restaurant has $36,980 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $49,270 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. Software Developers has a median of $125,570 per year in Michigan, or $88,590 above Cooks, Restaurant. BLS lists 43,460 jobs, compared with 39,100 for Cooks, Restaurant. Its location quotient is 0.91.
2. Mechanical Engineers has a median of $104,890 per year in Michigan, or $67,910 above Cooks, Restaurant. BLS lists 34,630 jobs, compared with 39,100 for Cooks, Restaurant. Its location quotient is 4.12.
3. Industrial Engineers has a median of $101,680 per year in Michigan, or $64,700 above Cooks, Restaurant. BLS lists 30,990 jobs, compared with 39,100 for Cooks, Restaurant. Its location quotient is 2.99.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Michigan
Mechanical Engineers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Michigan role table, at 4.12. Cooks, Restaurant has 0.98. 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, Restaurant with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Mechanical Engineers has a location quotient of 4.12 in Michigan, a gap of 3.14 from Cooks, Restaurant. BLS lists 34,630 jobs and a median of $104,890 per year, or $67,910 above Cooks, Restaurant.
2. Industrial Engineers has a location quotient of 2.99 in Michigan, a gap of 2.01 from Cooks, Restaurant. BLS lists 30,990 jobs and a median of $101,680 per year, or $64,700 above Cooks, Restaurant.
3. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 2.82 in Michigan, a gap of 1.84 from Cooks, Restaurant. BLS lists 112,310 jobs and a median of $44,690 per year, or $7,710 above Cooks, Restaurant.
Price-level view
What $36,980 may mean after the Michigan price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Michigan is 96.2. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 3.8% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $36,980 Cooks, Restaurant median by 96.2 divided by 100. The result is $38,434 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 82.3. Goods are 96.0. Utilities are 100.2. Other services are 100.9. 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, Restaurant row is 4.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 1%. 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 39,100 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $37,570 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, Restaurant. It uses a Michigan 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. Job cards can change without changing this guide. They do not count toward the 1,500-word content floor. A listing range does not replace the $36,980 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, Restaurant row for Michigan 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 39,100 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.98 is not a growth score. Rank 25 of 54 is not a place score. The 96.2 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 35-2014 in BLS area 26. 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.
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.
