Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN was 0.6% below the U.S. median for Curators. It ranked 50 of 81 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Curators median says in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Curators median in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN at $63,060 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 25-4012 and BLS area 16980.
BLS lists 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 $72,030 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN's Curators median is 0.6% below the U.S. Curators median of $63,420 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 25-4012 and area 16980. SOC 25-4012 names Curators. Area 16980 names Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 25-4012/16980 row reports 290 wage and salary jobs, 0.07 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.83 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 25-4012/16980, the annual median is $63,060 per year, while the matching mean is $72,030 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 16980 reports 4,513,280 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $73,380. Its annual median is $54,720. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 25-4012 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN runs from $34,260 at the 10th percentile to $130,790 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $38,480. The median is $54,720. The 75th percentile is $86,670. This is a place check, not a pay range for Curators.
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 16980. They do not show related skills or a path into Curators.
1. Area 16980, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 157,920 jobs, $40,550 annual median, 34.99 jobs per 1,000, and 1.84 location quotient.
2. Area 16980, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 122,930 jobs, $109,390 annual median, 27.24 jobs per 1,000, and 1.21 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN wage ladder for Curators
The 10th percentile is $42,120 per year. The 25th percentile is $54,950 per year. The median is $63,060 per year. The 75th percentile is $80,410 per year. The 90th percentile is $109,720 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 $54,950 per year to $80,410 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $67,600. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN with its state and the U.S.
Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has a annual median of $63,060 per year. Illinois has $63,060 per year. The U.S. row has $63,420 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN and Illinois have the same published median after rounding. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN is 0.6% 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 Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN sits for Curators
Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN ranks 50 of 81 among metro areas with a published annual median for Curators. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 50 of 81 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.
47. Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI has a Curators median of $63,190 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.83.
48. Harrisburg-Carlisle, PA has a Curators median of $63,150 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.74.
49. Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD has a Curators median of $63,080 per year, 90 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.87.
51. Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood, IN has a Curators median of $62,890 per year, 90 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.01.
Pay leaders
Where Curators medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 25-4012, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. New Haven, CT has the highest published median in this set, at $102,110 per year. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN sits at $63,060 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Curators 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. New Haven, CT has a Curators median of $102,110 per year, or $39,050 above Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN. BLS lists 70 jobs there, compared with 290 in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN. The location quotient is 3.18.
2. Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH has a Curators median of $94,740 per year, or $31,680 above Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN. BLS lists 40 jobs there, compared with 290 in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN. The location quotient is 1.28.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Curators jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Curators in this same-source set, at 970 jobs. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has 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. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 970 estimated Curators jobs, a gap of 680 jobs from Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN. Its median is $83,110 per year, or $20,050 above Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN. Its location quotient is 1.31.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 390 estimated Curators jobs, a gap of 100 jobs from Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN. Its median is $77,160 per year, or $14,100 above Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN. Its location quotient is 0.79.
Local-share leaders
Where Curators takes the largest share of local jobs
Pittsfield, MA has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 8.61. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has 0.83. 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 Curators 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. Pittsfield, MA has a location quotient of 8.61, a gap of 7.78 from Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN. BLS lists 40 Curators jobs and a median of $76,850 per year, or $13,790 above Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN.
2. Santa Fe, NM has a location quotient of 7.11, a gap of 6.28 from Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN. BLS lists 30 Curators jobs and a median of $64,520 per year, or $1,460 above Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN.
3. Montgomery, AL has a location quotient of 3.73, a gap of 2.90 from Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN. BLS lists 50 Curators jobs and a median of $56,720 per year, or $6,340 below Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN.
Job scale and share
How common Curators is in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN
BLS lists 290 Curators jobs in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN. It also lists 0.07 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 0.83. A value of 1 means Curators 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.
Curators beside other roles in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN
The all-occupations median in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN is $54,720 per year. The Curators median is $63,060 per year. Curators is 15.2% above 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 Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN. 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 Curators. 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. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers, SOC 53-3032, has a Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN median of $62,300 per year. BLS lists 62,210 jobs and a location quotient of 1.04.
2. Maintenance and Repair Workers, General, SOC 49-9071, has a Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN median of $58,020 per year. BLS lists 45,710 jobs and a location quotient of 1.03.
3. Sales Representatives of Services, Except Advertising, Insurance, Financial Services, and Travel, SOC 41-3091, has a Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN median of $70,710 per year. BLS lists 55,730 jobs and a location quotient of 1.53.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN table, at 157,920 jobs. Curators has 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 4,513,280. 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 Curators's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 157,920 jobs in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN, a gap of 157,630 from Curators. Its median is $40,550 per year, or $22,510 below Curators. Its location quotient is 1.84.
2. General and Operations Managers has 122,930 jobs in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN, a gap of 122,640 from Curators. Its median is $109,390 per year, or $46,330 above Curators. Its location quotient is 1.21.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN
Financial Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN role table, at $168,810 per year. Curators has $63,060 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $54,720 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. Financial Managers has a median of $168,810 per year in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN, or $105,750 above Curators. BLS lists 41,590 jobs, compared with 290 for Curators. Its location quotient is 1.7.
2. Software Developers has a median of $134,380 per year in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN, or $71,320 above Curators. BLS lists 40,370 jobs, compared with 290 for Curators. Its location quotient is 0.82.
3. General and Operations Managers has a median of $109,390 per year in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN, or $46,330 above Curators. BLS lists 122,930 jobs, compared with 290 for Curators. Its location quotient is 1.21.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has the highest location quotient in the bounded Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN role table, at 1.84. Curators has 0.83. 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 Curators with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has a location quotient of 1.84 in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN, a gap of 1.01 from Curators. BLS lists 157,920 jobs and a median of $40,550 per year, or $22,510 below Curators.
2. Financial Managers has a location quotient of 1.7 in Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN, a gap of 0.87 from Curators. BLS lists 41,590 jobs and a median of $168,810 per year, or $105,750 above Curators.
Price-level view
What $63,060 may mean after the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN is 103.6. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 3.6% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $63,060 Curators median by 103.6 divided by 100. The result is $60,872 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 112.0. Goods are 107.3. Utilities are 83.6. Other services are 100.5. 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 Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN row
The employment RSE for this Curators row is 7%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.3%. 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 290 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $72,030 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 Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Curators. It uses a Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN 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 $63,060 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 Curators row for Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN 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 290 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.83 is not a growth score. Rank 50 of 81 is not a place score. The 103.6 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 25-4012 in BLS area 16980. 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 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.
