Questions, answered
Curators pay in Kansas nonmetropolitan area: common questions
What is the median wage for Curators in Kansas nonmetropolitan area?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $47,520 per year for Curators in Kansas nonmetropolitan area. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.

Kansas nonmetropolitan area's published median was 25.1% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Kansas nonmetropolitan area?
No. The BLS wage is nominal, and WageScope has no exact current BEA Regional Price Parity row for this BLS area. It does not substitute a nearby place or invent an adjustment.

Kansas nonmetropolitan area was 25.1% below the U.S. median for Curators. It ranked 7 of 9 nonmetro 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 Kansas nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Curators median in Kansas nonmetropolitan area at $47,520 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 2000006.
BLS lists 50 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 $45,950 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Kansas nonmetropolitan area's Curators median is 25.1% 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 2000006. SOC 25-4012 names Curators. Area 2000006 names Kansas nonmetropolitan area. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 25-4012/2000006 row reports 50 wage and salary jobs, 0.13 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.65 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 25-4012/2000006, the annual median is $47,520 per year, while the matching mean is $45,950 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
25-4012/2000006 10th percentile: $29,120 per year.
25-4012/2000006 25th percentile: $30,160 per year.
25-4012/2000006 median: $47,520 per year.
25-4012/2000006 75th percentile: $54,540 per year.
25-4012/2000006 90th percentile: $64,890 per year.
Area 2000006 reports 374,010 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $51,920. Its annual median is $44,710. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.4%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 25-4012 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Kansas nonmetropolitan area runs from $27,140 at the 10th percentile to $82,500 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $33,200. The median is $44,710. The 75th percentile is $59,840. 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 2000006. They do not show related skills or a path into Curators.
1. Area 2000006, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 12,330 jobs, $26,220 annual median, 32.96 jobs per 1,000, and 1.33 location quotient.
2. Area 2000006, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 10,650 jobs, $28,370 annual median, 28.48 jobs per 1,000, and 1.43 location quotient.
3. Area 2000006, SOC 43-6014, Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive: 9,830 jobs, $38,290 annual median, 26.28 jobs per 1,000, and 2.39 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Kansas nonmetropolitan area wage ladder for Curators
The 10th percentile is $29,120 per year. The 25th percentile is $30,160 per year. The median is $47,520 per year. The 75th percentile is $54,540 per year. The 90th percentile is $64,890 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 $30,160 per year to $54,540 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $35,770. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Kansas nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Kansas nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $47,520 per year. Kansas has $56,630 per year. The U.S. row has $63,420 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Kansas nonmetropolitan area is 16.1% below Kansas on the same published median. Kansas nonmetropolitan area is 25.1% 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.
Where Kansas nonmetropolitan area sits for Curators
Kansas nonmetropolitan area ranks 7 of 9 among nonmetro 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 7 of 9 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.
4. Central East New York nonmetropolitan area has a Curators median of $54,470 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 3.64.
5. Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has a Curators median of $50,890 per year, 30 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.59.
6. Eastern North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has a Curators median of $48,230 per year, 90 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 4.21.
8. Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area has a Curators median of $46,760 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 4.9.
Pay leaders
Where Curators medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 25-4012, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Alaska nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $65,340 per year. Kansas nonmetropolitan area sits at $47,520 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. Alaska nonmetropolitan area has a Curators median of $65,340 per year, or $17,820 above Kansas nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 50 jobs there, compared with 50 in Kansas nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 6.4.
2. Eastern Wyoming nonmetropolitan area has a Curators median of $61,240 per year, or $13,720 above Kansas nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 30 jobs there, compared with 50 in Kansas nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 4.63.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Curators jobs
Eastern North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Curators in this same-source set, at 90 jobs. Kansas nonmetropolitan area has 50. 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. Eastern North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has 90 estimated Curators jobs, a gap of 40 jobs from Kansas nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $48,230 per year, or $710 above Kansas nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 4.21.
2. Alaska nonmetropolitan area has 50 estimated Curators jobs, a gap of 0 jobs from Kansas nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $65,340 per year, or $17,820 above Kansas nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 6.4.
Local-share leaders
Where Curators takes the largest share of local jobs
Alaska nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 6.4. Kansas nonmetropolitan area has 1.65. 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. Alaska nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 6.4, a gap of 4.75 from Kansas nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 50 Curators jobs and a median of $65,340 per year, or $17,820 above Kansas nonmetropolitan area.
2. Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 4.9, a gap of 3.25 from Kansas nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 40 Curators jobs and a median of $46,760 per year, or $760 below Kansas nonmetropolitan area.
3. Eastern Wyoming nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 4.63, a gap of 2.98 from Kansas nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 30 Curators jobs and a median of $61,240 per year, or $13,720 above Kansas nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Curators is in Kansas nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 50 Curators jobs in Kansas nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 0.13 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 1.65. 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.
Curators beside other roles in Kansas nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Kansas nonmetropolitan area is $44,710 per year. The Curators median is $47,520 per year. Curators is 6.3% 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 Kansas 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 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. Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers, SOC 51-4121, has a Kansas nonmetropolitan area median of $48,000 per year. BLS lists 3,160 jobs and a location quotient of 3.16.
2. Meat, Poultry, and Fish Cutters and Trimmers, SOC 51-3022, has a Kansas nonmetropolitan area median of $48,080 per year. BLS lists 4,550 jobs and a location quotient of 12.99.
3. Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators, SOC 47-2073, has a Kansas nonmetropolitan area median of $48,200 per year. BLS lists 3,110 jobs and a location quotient of 2.7.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Kansas nonmetropolitan area
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Kansas nonmetropolitan area table, at 12,330 jobs. Curators has 50 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 374,010. 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 12,330 jobs in Kansas nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 12,280 from Curators. Its median is $26,220 per year, or $21,300 below Curators. Its location quotient is 1.33.
2. Cashiers has 10,650 jobs in Kansas nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 10,600 from Curators. Its median is $28,370 per year, or $19,150 below Curators. Its location quotient is 1.43.
3. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has 9,830 jobs in Kansas nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 9,780 from Curators. Its median is $38,290 per year, or $9,230 below Curators. Its location quotient is 2.39.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Kansas nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Kansas nonmetropolitan area role table, at $81,790 per year. Curators has $47,520 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $44,710 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 $81,790 per year in Kansas nonmetropolitan area, or $34,270 above Curators. BLS lists 5,550 jobs, compared with 50 for Curators. Its location quotient is 0.66.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $78,730 per year in Kansas nonmetropolitan area, or $31,210 above Curators. BLS lists 7,630 jobs, compared with 50 for Curators. Its location quotient is 0.94.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Production and Operating Workers has a median of $71,150 per year in Kansas nonmetropolitan area, or $23,630 above Curators. BLS lists 3,260 jobs, compared with 50 for Curators. Its location quotient is 2.01.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Kansas nonmetropolitan area
Meat, Poultry, and Fish Cutters and Trimmers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Kansas nonmetropolitan area role table, at 12.99. Curators has 1.65. 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. Meat, Poultry, and Fish Cutters and Trimmers has a location quotient of 12.99 in Kansas nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 11.34 from Curators. BLS lists 4,550 jobs and a median of $48,080 per year, or $560 above Curators.
2. Packaging and Filling Machine Operators and Tenders has a location quotient of 4.49 in Kansas nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 2.84 from Curators. BLS lists 4,090 jobs and a median of $44,890 per year, or $2,630 below Curators.
Price-level view
What $47,520 may mean after the Kansas nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Kansas nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $47,520 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 Curators 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.
How much care to use with the Kansas nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Curators row is 37.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 9.1%. 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 50 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $45,950 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 Kansas nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Curators. It uses a Kansas 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 $47,520 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 Kansas 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 50 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.65 is not a growth score. Rank 7 of 9 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 25-4012 in BLS area 2000006. 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 50 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.
