Amherst Town-Northampton, MA was 7.3% above the U.S. median for Dishwashers. It ranked 18 of 390 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Dishwashers median says in Amherst Town-Northampton, MA
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Dishwashers median in Amherst Town-Northampton, MA at $37,350 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 35-9021 and BLS area 11200.
BLS lists 300 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 $37,470 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Amherst Town-Northampton, MA's Dishwashers median is 7.3% above the U.S. Dishwashers median of $34,810 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 35-9021 and area 11200. SOC 35-9021 names Dishwashers. Area 11200 names Amherst Town-Northampton, MA. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 35-9021/11200 row reports 300 wage and salary jobs, 4.62 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.51 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 35-9021/11200, the annual median is $37,350 per year, while the matching mean is $37,470 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 11200 reports 65,670 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $70,730. Its annual median is $57,030. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.4%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 35-9021 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Amherst Town-Northampton, MA runs from $35,440 at the 10th percentile to $122,510 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $41,050. The median is $57,030. The 75th percentile is $83,400. This is a place check, not a pay range for Dishwashers.
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 11200. They do not show related skills or a path into Dishwashers.
1. Area 11200, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 2,350 jobs, $41,700 annual median, 35.82 jobs per 1,000, and 1.29 location quotient.

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 $34,880 per year to $39,530 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $9,410. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Amherst Town-Northampton, MA with its state and the U.S.
Amherst Town-Northampton, MA has a annual median of $37,350 per year. Massachusetts has $37,190 per year. The U.S. row has $34,810 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Amherst Town-Northampton, MA is 0.4% above Massachusetts on the same published median. Amherst Town-Northampton, MA is 7.3% 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 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 Amherst Town-Northampton, MA sits for Dishwashers
Amherst Town-Northampton, MA ranks 18 of 390 among metro areas with a published annual median for Dishwashers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 18 of 390 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.
15. Bellingham, WA has a Dishwashers median of $37,430 per year, 310 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.11.
16. Kennewick-Richland, WA has a Dishwashers median of $37,400 per year, 360 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.9.
17. Santa Cruz-Watsonville, CA has a Dishwashers median of $37,380 per year, 510 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.69.
19. Salinas, CA has a Dishwashers median of $37,350 per year, 970 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.7.
Pay leaders
Where Dishwashers medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 35-9021, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has the highest published median in this set, at $45,930 per year. Amherst Town-Northampton, MA sits at $37,350 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Dishwashers 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. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has a Dishwashers median of $45,930 per year, or $8,580 above Amherst Town-Northampton, MA. BLS lists 800 jobs there, compared with 300 in Amherst Town-Northampton, MA. The location quotient is 3.54.
2. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a Dishwashers median of $43,960 per year, or $6,610 above Amherst Town-Northampton, MA. BLS lists 3,940 jobs there, compared with 300 in Amherst Town-Northampton, MA. The location quotient is 1.13.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Dishwashers jobs
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has the largest published metro job estimate for Dishwashers in this same-source set, at 27,520 jobs. Amherst Town-Northampton, MA has 300. 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. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 27,520 estimated Dishwashers jobs, a gap of 27,220 jobs from Amherst Town-Northampton, MA. Its median is $37,580 per year, or $230 above Amherst Town-Northampton, MA. Its location quotient is 1.43.
2. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 25,580 estimated Dishwashers jobs, a gap of 25,280 jobs from Amherst Town-Northampton, MA. Its median is $35,670 per year, or $1,680 below Amherst Town-Northampton, MA. Its location quotient is 0.88.
Local-share leaders
Where Dishwashers takes the largest share of local jobs
Kahului-Wailuku, HI has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 3.54. Amherst Town-Northampton, MA has 1.51. 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 Dishwashers 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. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has a location quotient of 3.54, a gap of 2.03 from Amherst Town-Northampton, MA. BLS lists 800 Dishwashers jobs and a median of $45,930 per year, or $8,580 above Amherst Town-Northampton, MA.
2. Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV has a location quotient of 2.75, a gap of 1.24 from Amherst Town-Northampton, MA. BLS lists 9,610 Dishwashers jobs and a median of $35,630 per year, or $1,720 below Amherst Town-Northampton, MA.
Job scale and share
How common Dishwashers is in Amherst Town-Northampton, MA
BLS lists 300 Dishwashers jobs in Amherst Town-Northampton, MA. It also lists 4.62 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 1.51. A value of 1 means Dishwashers 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.
Dishwashers beside other roles in Amherst Town-Northampton, MA
The all-occupations median in Amherst Town-Northampton, MA is $57,030 per year. The Dishwashers median is $37,350 per year. Dishwashers is 34.5% 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 Amherst Town-Northampton, MA. 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 Dishwashers. 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. Stockers and Order Fillers, SOC 53-7065, has a Amherst Town-Northampton, MA median of $36,730 per year. BLS lists 1,110 jobs and a location quotient of 0.93.
2. Waiters and Waitresses, SOC 35-3031, has a Amherst Town-Northampton, MA median of $36,650 per year. BLS lists 980 jobs and a location quotient of 1.02.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Amherst Town-Northampton, MA
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Amherst Town-Northampton, MA table, at 2,350 jobs. Dishwashers has 300 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 65,670. 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 Dishwashers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 2,350 jobs in Amherst Town-Northampton, MA, a gap of 2,050 from Dishwashers. Its median is $41,700 per year, or $4,350 above Dishwashers. Its location quotient is 1.29.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 2,080 jobs in Amherst Town-Northampton, MA, a gap of 1,780 from Dishwashers. Its median is $34,350 per year, or $3,000 below Dishwashers. Its location quotient is 1.28.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Amherst Town-Northampton, MA
Education Administrators, Postsecondary has the highest published median in the bounded Amherst Town-Northampton, MA role table, at $109,940 per year. Dishwashers has $37,350 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $57,030 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. Education Administrators, Postsecondary has a median of $109,940 per year in Amherst Town-Northampton, MA, or $72,590 above Dishwashers. BLS lists 580 jobs, compared with 300 for Dishwashers. Its location quotient is 7.62.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $101,270 per year in Amherst Town-Northampton, MA, or $63,920 above Dishwashers. BLS lists 1,150 jobs, compared with 300 for Dishwashers. Its location quotient is 0.8.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Amherst Town-Northampton, MA
Education Administrators, Postsecondary has the highest location quotient in the bounded Amherst Town-Northampton, MA role table, at 7.62. Dishwashers has 1.51. 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 Dishwashers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Education Administrators, Postsecondary has a location quotient of 7.62 in Amherst Town-Northampton, MA, a gap of 6.11 from Dishwashers. BLS lists 580 jobs and a median of $109,940 per year, or $72,590 above Dishwashers.
2. Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors has a location quotient of 3.6 in Amherst Town-Northampton, MA, a gap of 2.09 from Dishwashers. BLS lists 540 jobs and a median of $67,180 per year, or $29,830 above Dishwashers.
Price-level view
What $37,350 may mean after the Amherst Town-Northampton, MA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Amherst Town-Northampton, MA is 100.2. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 0.2% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $37,350 Dishwashers median by 100.2 divided by 100. The result is $37,259 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 97.5. Goods are 97.0. Utilities are 155.7. Other services are 101.2. 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 Amherst Town-Northampton, MA row
The employment RSE for this Dishwashers row is 6.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.9%. 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 300 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $37,470 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 Amherst Town-Northampton, MA wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Dishwashers. It uses a Amherst Town-Northampton, MA 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 $37,350 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 Dishwashers row for Amherst Town-Northampton, MA 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 300 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.51 is not a growth score. Rank 18 of 390 is not a place score. The 100.2 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 35-9021 in BLS area 11200. 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 300 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.
