Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area was 2.3% below the U.S. median for Dancers. It ranked 1 of 1 nonmetro areas with a published hourly median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Dancers median says in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Dancers median in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area at $24.22 per hour. 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 27-2031 and BLS area 1500001.
BLS lists 70 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 $56.53 per hour. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area's Dancers median is 2.3% below the U.S. Dancers median of $24.80 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 27-2031 and area 1500001. SOC 27-2031 names Dancers. Area 1500001 names Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 27-2031/1500001 row reports 70 wage and salary jobs, 0.62 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 11.86 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 27-2031/1500001, the hourly median is $24.22 per hour, while the matching mean is $56.53 per hour. The row is hourly only. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
27-2031/1500001 10th percentile: $14.00 per hour.
27-2031/1500001 25th percentile: $14.00 per hour.
27-2031/1500001 median: $24.22 per hour.
27-2031/1500001 75th percentile: $86.76 per hour.
27-2031/1500001 90th percentile: $127.21 per hour.

Area 1500001 reports 105,290 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $63,930. Its annual median is $51,820. The employment RSE is 0.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.6%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 27-2031 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area runs from $34,290 at the 10th percentile to $104,960 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $40,070. The median is $51,820. The 75th percentile is $73,150. This is a place check, not a pay range for Dancers.
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 1500001. They do not show related skills or a path into Dancers.
1. Area 1500001, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 4,280 jobs, $36,140 annual median, 40.64 jobs per 1,000, and 1.64 location quotient.
2. Area 1500001, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 3,840 jobs, $38,320 annual median, 36.51 jobs per 1,000, and 1.46 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area wage ladder for Dancers
The 10th percentile is $14.00 per hour. The 25th percentile is $14.00 per hour. The median is $24.22 per hour. The 75th percentile is $86.76 per hour. The 90th percentile is $127.21 per hour.
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 $14.00 per hour to $86.76 per hour. The 10th-to-90th span is $113.21. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has a hourly median of $24.22 per hour. Hawaii has $24.68 per hour. The U.S. row has $24.80 per hour. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area is 1.9% below Hawaii on the same published median. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area is 2.3% 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.
Where Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area sits for Dancers
Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area ranks 1 of 1 among nonmetro areas with a published hourly median for Dancers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 1 of 1 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.
The rows below use the same SOC 27-2031, the same hourly median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $24.22 per hour. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area sits at $24.22 per hour.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Dancers 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. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has a Dancers median of $24.22 per hour, or $0.00 above Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 70 jobs there, compared with 70 in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 11.86.
Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Dancers in this same-source set, at 70 jobs. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has 70. 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. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has 70 estimated Dancers jobs, a gap of 0 jobs from Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $24.22 per hour, or $0.00 above Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 11.86.
Where Dancers takes the largest share of local jobs
Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 11.86. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has 11.86. 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 Dancers 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. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 11.86, a gap of 0.00 from Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 70 Dancers jobs and a median of $24.22 per hour, or $0.00 above Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area.
How common Dancers is in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 70 Dancers jobs in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 0.62 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 11.86. A value of 1 means Dancers 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.
Dancers beside other roles in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area is $51,820 per year. The Dancers median is $24.22 per hour. Dancers is 2.8% 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 Hawaii / Kauai 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 Dancers. 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. Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners, SOC 37-2012, has a Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area median of $50,630 per year. BLS lists 2,310 jobs and a location quotient of 3.96.
2. Dining Room and Cafeteria Attendants and Bartender Helpers, SOC 35-9011, has a Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area median of $50,680 per year. BLS lists 1,040 jobs and a location quotient of 2.83.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers, SOC 35-1012, has a Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area median of $51,230 per year. BLS lists 1,290 jobs and a location quotient of 1.56.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area table, at 4,280 jobs. Dancers has 70 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 105,290. 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 Dancers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 4,280 jobs in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 4,210 from Dancers. Its median is $17.38 per hour, or $6.84 below Dancers. Its location quotient is 1.64.
2. Retail Salespersons has 3,840 jobs in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3,770 from Dancers. Its median is $18.43 per hour, or $5.79 below Dancers. Its location quotient is 1.46.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area role table, at $127,060 per year. Dancers has $24.22 per hour. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $51,820 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. Registered Nurses has a median of $61.09 per hour in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area, or $36.87 above Dancers. BLS lists 1,970 jobs, compared with 70 for Dancers. Its location quotient is 0.86.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $48.04 per hour in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area, or $23.82 above Dancers. BLS lists 2,240 jobs, compared with 70 for Dancers. Its location quotient is 0.94.
3. Carpenters has a median of $38.82 per hour in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area, or $14.60 above Dancers. BLS lists 990 jobs, compared with 70 for Dancers. Its location quotient is 2.19.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area
Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners has the highest location quotient in the bounded Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area role table, at 3.96. Dancers has 11.86. 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 Dancers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners has a location quotient of 3.96 in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 7.90 from Dancers. BLS lists 2,310 jobs and a median of $24.34 per hour, or $0.12 above Dancers.
2. Landscaping and Groundskeeping Workers has a location quotient of 3.71 in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 8.15 from Dancers. BLS lists 2,400 jobs and a median of $22.38 per hour, or $1.84 below Dancers.
3. Amusement and Recreation Attendants has a location quotient of 3.62 in Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 8.24 from Dancers. BLS lists 970 jobs and a median of $19.19 per hour, or $5.03 below Dancers.
Price-level view
What $24.22 may mean after the Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $24.22 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 Dancers 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 Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Dancers row is 14.3%. The mean-wage RSE is 24.1%. 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 70 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $56.53 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 Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Dancers. It uses a Hawaii / Kauai 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 $24.22 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 Dancers row for Hawaii / Kauai 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 70 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 11.86 is not a growth score. Rank 1 of 1 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 27-2031 in BLS area 1500001. 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 70 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.
