Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA was 6.7% below the U.S. median for Cooks, Restaurant. It ranked 270 of 391 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Cooks, Restaurant median says in Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Cooks, Restaurant median in Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA at $34,870 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 42540.
BLS lists 2,170 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 $33,550 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA's Cooks, Restaurant median is 6.7% 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 42540. SOC 35-2014 names Cooks, Restaurant. Area 42540 names Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 35-2014/42540 row reports 2,170 wage and salary jobs, 8.5 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.94 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 35-2014/42540, the annual median is $34,870 per year, while the matching mean is $33,550 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 42540 facts behind this Cooks, Restaurant page
Area 42540 reports 255,620 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $56,800. Its annual median is $46,330. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 35-2014 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA runs from $28,040 at the 10th percentile to $95,560 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,550. The median is $46,330. The 75th percentile is $64,550. 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 42540. They do not show related skills or a path into Cooks, Restaurant.
1. Area 42540, SOC 53-7065, Stockers and Order Fillers: 10,250 jobs, $37,410 annual median, 40.12 jobs per 1,000, and 2.2 location quotient.

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 $28,570 per year to $37,260 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $21,540. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA with its state and the U.S.
Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA has a annual median of $34,870 per year. Pennsylvania has $36,580 per year. The U.S. row has $37,390 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA is 4.7% below Pennsylvania on the same published median. Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA is 6.7% 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 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 Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA sits for Cooks, Restaurant
Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA ranks 270 of 391 among metro areas 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 270 of 391 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.
267. Odessa, TX has a Cooks, Restaurant median of $34,900 per year, 840 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.14.
268. Cape Girardeau, MO-IL has a Cooks, Restaurant median of $34,870 per year, 380 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.94.

Pay leaders
Where Cooks, Restaurant medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 35-2014, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has the highest published median in this set, at $49,560 per year. Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA sits at $34,870 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. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has a Cooks, Restaurant median of $49,560 per year, or $14,690 above Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA. BLS lists 1,770 jobs there, compared with 2,170 in Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA. The location quotient is 2.65.
2. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA has a Cooks, Restaurant median of $47,730 per year, or $12,860 above Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA. BLS lists 20,850 jobs there, compared with 2,170 in Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA. The location quotient is 1.1.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Cooks, Restaurant jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Cooks, Restaurant in this same-source set, at 69,250 jobs. Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA has 2,170. 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. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 69,250 estimated Cooks, Restaurant jobs, a gap of 67,080 jobs from Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA. Its median is $43,740 per year, or $8,870 above Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA. Its location quotient is 0.8.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 54,320 estimated Cooks, Restaurant jobs, a gap of 52,150 jobs from Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA. Its median is $44,460 per year, or $9,590 above Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA. Its location quotient is 0.96.
Local-share leaders
Where Cooks, Restaurant takes the largest share of local jobs
Kahului-Wailuku, HI has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 2.65. Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA has 0.94. 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. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has a location quotient of 2.65, a gap of 1.71 from Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA. BLS lists 1,770 Cooks, Restaurant jobs and a median of $49,560 per year, or $14,690 above Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA.
2. Myrtle Beach-Conway-North Myrtle Beach, SC has a location quotient of 2.58, a gap of 1.64 from Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA. BLS lists 3,420 Cooks, Restaurant jobs and a median of $35,190 per year, or $320 above Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA.
Job scale and share
How common Cooks, Restaurant is in Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA
BLS lists 2,170 Cooks, Restaurant jobs in Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA. It also lists 8.5 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 0.94. A value of 1 means Cooks, Restaurant 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, Restaurant beside other roles in Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA
The all-occupations median in Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA is $46,330 per year. The Cooks, Restaurant median is $34,870 per year. Cooks, Restaurant is 24.7% 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 Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA. 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. Security Guards, SOC 33-9032, has a Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA median of $35,160 per year. BLS lists 2,070 jobs and a location quotient of 0.98.
2. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners, SOC 37-2011, has a Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA median of $36,570 per year. BLS lists 3,400 jobs and a location quotient of 0.94.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA
Stockers and Order Fillers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA table, at 10,250 jobs. Cooks, Restaurant has 2,170 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 255,620. 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. Stockers and Order Fillers has 10,250 jobs in Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA, a gap of 8,080 from Cooks, Restaurant. Its median is $37,410 per year, or $2,540 above Cooks, Restaurant. Its location quotient is 2.2.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 9,970 jobs in Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA, a gap of 7,800 from Cooks, Restaurant. Its median is $29,460 per year, or $5,410 below Cooks, Restaurant. Its location quotient is 1.41.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA role table, at $93,820 per year. Cooks, Restaurant has $34,870 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,330 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 $93,820 per year in Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA, or $58,950 above Cooks, Restaurant. BLS lists 6,010 jobs, compared with 2,170 for Cooks, Restaurant. Its location quotient is 1.04.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $82,650 per year in Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA, or $47,780 above Cooks, Restaurant. BLS lists 5,400 jobs, compared with 2,170 for Cooks, Restaurant. Its location quotient is 0.97.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA
Industrial Truck and Tractor Operators has the highest location quotient in the bounded Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA role table, at 3.33. Cooks, Restaurant has 0.94. 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. Industrial Truck and Tractor Operators has a location quotient of 3.33 in Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA, a gap of 2.39 from Cooks, Restaurant. BLS lists 4,240 jobs and a median of $48,860 per year, or $13,990 above Cooks, Restaurant.
2. Packers and Packagers, Hand has a location quotient of 2.26 in Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA, a gap of 1.32 from Cooks, Restaurant. BLS lists 2,080 jobs and a median of $37,430 per year, or $2,560 above Cooks, Restaurant.
Price-level view
What $34,870 may mean after the Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA is 93.6. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 6.4% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $34,870 Cooks, Restaurant median by 93.6 divided by 100. The result is $37,272 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 67.0. Goods are 100.7. Utilities are 106.5. Other services are 97.7. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
How much care to use with the Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA row
The employment RSE for this Cooks, Restaurant row is 4.7%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.7%. 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 2,170 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $33,550 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.
Use Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Cooks, Restaurant. It uses a Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA 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 $34,870 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 Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA 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 2,170 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.94 is not a growth score. Rank 270 of 391 is not a place score. The 93.6 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 42540. 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 2,170 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.
