Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area was 23.9% below the U.S. median for Correctional Officers and Jailers. It ranked 99 of 128 nonmetro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Correctional Officers and Jailers median says in Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Correctional Officers and Jailers median in Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area at $44,840 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 33-3012 and BLS area 1800003.
BLS lists 670 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 $47,610 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area's Correctional Officers and Jailers median is 23.9% below the U.S. Correctional Officers and Jailers median of $58,940 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.
Exact source record
Read source key 33-3012 with area 1800003
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 33-3012 and area 1800003. SOC 33-3012 names Correctional Officers and Jailers. Area 1800003 names Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 33-3012/1800003 row reports 670 wage and salary jobs, 3.39 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.39 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 33-3012/1800003, the annual median is $44,840 per year, while the matching mean is $47,610 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
33-3012/1800003 10th percentile: $38,620 per year.

The 75th percentile is $64,280. This is a place check, not a pay range for Correctional Officers and Jailers.
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 1800003. They do not show related skills or a path into Correctional Officers and Jailers.
1. Area 1800003, SOC 51-2090, Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators: 9,020 jobs, $46,270 annual median, 45.9 jobs per 1,000, and 5.08 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area wage ladder for Correctional Officers and Jailers
The 10th percentile is $38,620 per year. The 25th percentile is $43,790 per year. The median is $44,840 per year. The 75th percentile is $51,030 per year. The 90th percentile is $57,350 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 $43,790 per year to $51,030 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $18,730. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $44,840 per year. Indiana has $48,340 per year. The U.S. row has $58,940 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area is 7.2% below Indiana on the same published median. Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area is 23.9% 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area sits for Correctional Officers and Jailers
Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area ranks 99 of 128 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Correctional Officers and Jailers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 99 of 128 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.
96. Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area has a Correctional Officers and Jailers median of $45,620 per year, 240 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.91.
97. Southeast Alabama nonmetropolitan area has a Correctional Officers and Jailers median of $45,550 per year, 320 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.56.
98. North Georgia nonmetropolitan area has a Correctional Officers and Jailers median of $45,070 per year, 650 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.41.
Pay leaders
Where Correctional Officers and Jailers medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 33-3012, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $107,220 per year. Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area sits at $44,840 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Correctional Officers and Jailers 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. Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area has a Correctional Officers and Jailers median of $107,220 per year, or $62,380 above Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 1,300 jobs there, compared with 670 in Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 8.42.
2. North Valley-Northern Mountains Region of California nonmetropolitan area has a Correctional Officers and Jailers median of $101,080 per year, or $56,240 above Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 990 jobs there, compared with 670 in Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 3.87.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Correctional Officers and Jailers jobs
Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Correctional Officers and Jailers in this same-source set, at 4,640 jobs. Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area has 670. 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. Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has 4,640 estimated Correctional Officers and Jailers jobs, a gap of 3,970 jobs from Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $52,670 per year, or $7,830 above Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 9.45.
2. North Florida nonmetropolitan area has 4,640 estimated Correctional Officers and Jailers jobs, a gap of 3,970 jobs from Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $47,130 per year, or $2,290 above Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 16.82.
Local-share leaders
Where Correctional Officers and Jailers takes the largest share of local jobs
North Florida nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 16.82. Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area has 1.39. 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 Correctional Officers and Jailers 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. North Florida nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 16.82, a gap of 15.43 from Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 4,640 Correctional Officers and Jailers jobs and a median of $47,130 per year, or $2,290 above Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area.
2. Central Louisiana nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 9.99, a gap of 8.60 from Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 1,900 Correctional Officers and Jailers jobs and a median of $37,060 per year, or $7,780 below Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Correctional Officers and Jailers is in Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 670 Correctional Officers and Jailers jobs in Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 3.39 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 1.39. A value of 1 means Correctional Officers and Jailers 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.
Local job mix
Correctional Officers and Jailers beside other roles in Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area is $46,330 per year. The Correctional Officers and Jailers median is $44,840 per year. Correctional Officers and Jailers is 3.2% 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 Southern Indiana 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 Correctional Officers and Jailers. 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. Industrial Truck and Tractor Operators, SOC 53-7051, has a Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area median of $45,100 per year. BLS lists 1,570 jobs and a location quotient of 1.6.
2. Customer Service Representatives, SOC 43-4051, has a Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area median of $44,370 per year. BLS lists 1,550 jobs and a location quotient of 0.47.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area
Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area table, at 9,020 jobs. Correctional Officers and Jailers has 670 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 196,540. 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 Correctional Officers and Jailers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has 9,020 jobs in Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 8,350 from Correctional Officers and Jailers. Its median is $46,270 per year, or $1,430 above Correctional Officers and Jailers. Its location quotient is 5.08.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 6,060 jobs in Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 5,390 from Correctional Officers and Jailers. Its median is $28,140 per year, or $16,700 below Correctional Officers and Jailers. Its location quotient is 1.24.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area role table, at $101,850 per year. Correctional Officers and Jailers has $44,840 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 $101,850 per year in Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area, or $57,010 above Correctional Officers and Jailers. BLS lists 2,650 jobs, compared with 670 for Correctional Officers and Jailers. Its location quotient is 0.6.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $80,760 per year in Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area, or $35,920 above Correctional Officers and Jailers. BLS lists 3,140 jobs, compared with 670 for Correctional Officers and Jailers. Its location quotient is 0.73.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area
Computer Numerically Controlled Tool Operators has the highest location quotient in the bounded Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area role table, at 8.45. Correctional Officers and Jailers has 1.39. 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 Correctional Officers and Jailers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Computer Numerically Controlled Tool Operators has a location quotient of 8.45 in Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 7.06 from Correctional Officers and Jailers. BLS lists 1,810 jobs and a median of $59,100 per year, or $14,260 above Correctional Officers and Jailers.
2. Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has a location quotient of 7.81 in Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 6.42 from Correctional Officers and Jailers. BLS lists 1,690 jobs and a median of $61,610 per year, or $16,770 above Correctional Officers and Jailers.
Price-level view
What $44,840 may mean after the Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $44,840 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 Correctional Officers and Jailers 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 Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Correctional Officers and Jailers row is 7.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 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 670 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $47,610 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 Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Correctional Officers and Jailers. It uses a Southern Indiana 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 $44,840 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 Correctional Officers and Jailers row for Southern Indiana 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 670 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.39 is not a growth score. Rank 99 of 128 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 33-3012 in BLS area 1800003. 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 670 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.
