BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Columbia, SC was 93.7, or 6.3% below the national price level. Its housing index was 79.5.
National-price-dollar proxy
$60,078
WageScope divides the published Curators 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 25-4012 and BLS area 17900.

Columbia, SC was 11.3% below the U.S. median for Curators. It ranked 73 of 81 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Curators median in Columbia, SC at $56,270 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 17900.
BLS lists 30 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 $56,150 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Columbia, SC's Curators median is 11.3% 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 17900. SOC 25-4012 names Curators. Area 17900 names Columbia, SC. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 25-4012/17900 row reports 30 wage and salary jobs, 0.09 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.1 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 25-4012/17900, the annual median is $56,270 per year, while the matching mean is $56,150 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 17900 reports 394,200 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $59,030. Its annual median is $46,430. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 25-4012 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Columbia, SC runs from $27,330 at the 10th percentile to $101,760 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $34,950. The median is $46,430. The 75th percentile is $69,250. 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 17900. They do not show related skills or a path into Curators.
1. Area 17900, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 11,640 jobs, $27,170 annual median, 29.54 jobs per 1,000, and 1.19 location quotient.
2. Area 17900, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 10,860 jobs, $29,540 annual median, 27.55 jobs per 1,000, and 1.1 location quotient.
3. Area 17900, SOC 43-4051, Customer Service Representatives: 10,430 jobs, $37,430 annual median, 26.47 jobs per 1,000, and 1.59 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Columbia, SC wage ladder for Curators
The 10th percentile is $35,800 per year. The 25th percentile is $42,440 per year. The median is $56,270 per year. The 75th percentile is $61,700 per year. The 90th percentile is $76,520 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 $42,440 per year to $61,700 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $40,720. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Columbia, SC has a annual median of $56,270 per year. South Carolina has $47,200 per year. The U.S. row has $63,420 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Columbia, SC is 19.2% above South Carolina on the same published median. Columbia, SC is 11.3% 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.
Columbia, SC ranks 73 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 73 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.
70. Lincoln, NE has a Curators median of $56,820 per year, 30 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.18.
71. Montgomery, AL has a Curators median of $56,720 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 3.73.
72. Memphis, TN-MS-AR has a Curators median of $56,410 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.8.
74. Buffalo-Cheektowaga, NY has a Curators median of $55,290 per year, 60 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.37.
75. Greensboro-High Point, NC has a Curators median of $55,170 per year, 60 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.97.
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. Columbia, SC sits at $56,270 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 $45,840 above Columbia, SC. BLS lists 70 jobs there, compared with 30 in Columbia, SC. The location quotient is 3.18.
2. Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH has a Curators median of $94,740 per year, or $38,470 above Columbia, SC. BLS lists 40 jobs there, compared with 30 in Columbia, SC. The location quotient is 1.28.
3. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA has a Curators median of $90,800 per year, or $34,530 above Columbia, SC. BLS lists 240 jobs there, compared with 30 in Columbia, SC. The location quotient is 1.27.
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. Columbia, SC has 30. 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 940 jobs from Columbia, SC. Its median is $83,110 per year, or $26,840 above Columbia, SC. Its location quotient is 1.31.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 390 estimated Curators jobs, a gap of 360 jobs from Columbia, SC. Its median is $77,160 per year, or $20,890 above Columbia, SC. 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. Columbia, SC has 1.1. 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 7.51 from Columbia, SC. BLS lists 40 Curators jobs and a median of $76,850 per year, or $20,580 above Columbia, SC.
2. Santa Fe, NM has a location quotient of 7.11, a gap of 6.01 from Columbia, SC. BLS lists 30 Curators jobs and a median of $64,520 per year, or $8,250 above Columbia, SC.
3. Montgomery, AL has a location quotient of 3.73, a gap of 2.63 from Columbia, SC. BLS lists 50 Curators jobs and a median of $56,720 per year, or $450 above Columbia, SC.
Job scale and share
How common Curators is in Columbia, SC
BLS lists 30 Curators jobs in Columbia, SC. It also lists 0.09 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 1.1. A value of 1 means Curators 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.
The all-occupations median in Columbia, SC is $46,430 per year. The Curators median is $56,270 per year. Curators is 21.2% 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 Columbia, SC. 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. Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers, SOC 33-3051, has a Columbia, SC median of $59,260 per year. BLS lists 2,840 jobs and a location quotient of 1.67.
2. Elementary School Teachers, Except Special Education, SOC 25-2021, has a Columbia, SC median of $60,050 per year. BLS lists 4,360 jobs and a location quotient of 1.24.
3. Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education, SOC 25-2031, has a Columbia, SC median of $60,280 per year. BLS lists 3,310 jobs and a location quotient of 1.22.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Columbia, SC
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Columbia, SC table, at 11,640 jobs. Curators has 30 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 394,200. 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. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 11,640 jobs in Columbia, SC, a gap of 11,610 from Curators. Its median is $27,170 per year, or $29,100 below Curators. Its location quotient is 1.19.
2. Retail Salespersons has 10,860 jobs in Columbia, SC, a gap of 10,830 from Curators. Its median is $29,540 per year, or $26,730 below Curators. Its location quotient is 1.1.
3. Customer Service Representatives has 10,430 jobs in Columbia, SC, a gap of 10,400 from Curators. Its median is $37,430 per year, or $18,840 below Curators. Its location quotient is 1.59.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Columbia, SC
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Columbia, SC role table, at $103,950 per year. Curators has $56,270 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,430 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 $103,950 per year in Columbia, SC, or $47,680 above Curators. BLS lists 4,890 jobs, compared with 30 for Curators. Its location quotient is 0.55.
2. Management Analysts has a median of $93,250 per year in Columbia, SC, or $36,980 above Curators. BLS lists 3,120 jobs, compared with 30 for Curators. Its location quotient is 1.37.
3. Registered Nurses has a median of $81,920 per year in Columbia, SC, or $25,650 above Curators. BLS lists 9,400 jobs, compared with 30 for Curators. Its location quotient is 1.1.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Columbia, SC
First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Columbia, SC role table, at 1.68. Curators has 1.1. 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. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers has a location quotient of 1.68 in Columbia, SC, a gap of 0.58 from Curators. BLS lists 6,120 jobs and a median of $62,230 per year, or $5,960 above Curators.
2. Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers has a location quotient of 1.67 in Columbia, SC, a gap of 0.57 from Curators. BLS lists 2,840 jobs and a median of $59,260 per year, or $2,990 above Curators.
3. Security Guards has a location quotient of 1.63 in Columbia, SC, a gap of 0.53 from Curators. BLS lists 5,290 jobs and a median of $35,140 per year, or $21,130 below Curators.
Price-level view
What $56,270 may mean after the Columbia, SC price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Columbia, SC is 93.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 6.3% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $56,270 Curators median by 93.7 divided by 100. The result is $60,078 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 79.5. Goods are 96.3. Utilities are 88.3. Other services are 98.3. 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 Curators row is 13.8%. 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 30 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $56,150 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 Curators. It uses a Columbia, SC 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 $56,270 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 Columbia, SC 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 30 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.1 is not a growth score. Rank 73 of 81 is not a place score. The 93.7 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 17900. 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.
