BLS lists 340 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 $51,020 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

Same-source checks
Compare Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $51,580 per year. Illinois has $48,990 per year. The U.S. row has $46,330 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area is 5.3% above Illinois on the same published median. Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area is 11.3% above 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 benchmarks, 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 Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area sits for Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic
Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area ranks 8 of 101 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 8 of 101 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.
5. West North Dakota nonmetropolitan area. The Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median is $54,370 per year. BLS estimates 50 jobs. The location quotient is 0.51.
6. Northeast Minnesota nonmetropolitan area. The Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median is $53,180 per year. BLS estimates 60 jobs. The location quotient is 1.19.
Pay leaders
Where Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 51-4031, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $61,610 per year. Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area sits at $51,580 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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 limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area has a Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $61,610 per year, or $10,030 above Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 1,690 jobs there, compared with 340 in Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 7.81.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs
Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic in this same-source set, at 1,690 jobs. Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area has 340. 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. Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area has 1,690 estimated Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs, a gap of 1,350 jobs from Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $61,610 per year, or $10,030 above Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 7.81.
Local-share leaders
Where Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic takes the largest share of local jobs
Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 8.51. Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area has 2.4. 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 Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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. Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 8.51, a gap of 6.11 from Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 630 Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs and a median of $40,710 per year, or $10,870 below Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area.
2. Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 7.81, a gap of 5.41 from Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 1,690 Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs and a median of $61,610 per year, or $10,030 above Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic is in Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 340 Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs in Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 2.65 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 2.4. A value of 1 means Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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
Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic beside other roles in Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area is $47,010 per year.

This compares one role with the full covered job mix.
The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Northwest Illinois 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 Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. 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 Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area median of $51,790 per year. BLS lists 1,680 jobs and a location quotient of 2.65.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area
Cashiers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area table, at 4,280 jobs. Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has 340 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 126,860. 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 Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Cashiers has 4,280 jobs in Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3,940 from Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Its median is $31,200 per year, or $20,380 below Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Its location quotient is 1.7.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area role table, at $87,770 per year. Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has $51,580 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,010 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 $87,770 per year in Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area, or $36,190 above Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. BLS lists 3,450 jobs, compared with 340 for Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Its location quotient is 1.21.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $79,580 per year in Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area, or $28,000 above Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area
Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has the highest location quotient in the bounded Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area role table, at 2.66. Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has 2.4. 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 Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 2.66 in Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 0.26 from Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. BLS lists 3,050 jobs and a median of $45,610 per year, or $5,970 below Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.
Price-level view
What $51,580 may mean after the Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $51,580 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 Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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 Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic row is 8.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.8%. 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 340 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $51,020 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 Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. It uses a Northwest Illinois 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 $51,580 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 Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic row for Northwest Illinois 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 340 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 2.4 is not a growth score. Rank 8 of 101 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 51-4031 in BLS area 1700001. 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.
How many Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs does BLS estimate in Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area?
BLS estimates 340 wage and salary jobs for this row. This is a survey estimate. It does not count open jobs or predict future hiring.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. We show job posts in a separate list. Each has its own source and check date. Posted pay does not change the BLS pay data.
