What the Dishwashers median says in Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Dishwashers median in Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area at $29,200 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 3000003.
BLS lists 200 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 $29,180 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area's Dishwashers median is 16.1% below 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 3000003. SOC 35-9021 names Dishwashers. Area 3000003 names Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 35-9021/3000003 row reports 200 wage and salary jobs, 4.99 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.63 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 35-9021/3000003, the annual median is $29,200 per year, while the matching mean is $29,180 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
35-9021/3000003 10th percentile: $22,190 per year.
35-9021/3000003 25th percentile: $23,160 per year.
35-9021/3000003 median: $29,200 per year.
35-9021/3000003 75th percentile: $32,900 per year.
35-9021/3000003 90th percentile: $37,850 per year.
BLS area 3000003 facts behind this Dishwashers page

The all-jobs wage ladder in Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area runs from $28,300 at the 10th percentile to $92,810 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,740. The median is $46,780. The 75th percentile is $64,000. 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 3000003. They do not show related skills or a path into Dishwashers.
1. Area 3000003, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 1,160 jobs, $28,670 annual median, 29.66 jobs per 1,000, and 1.2 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area wage ladder for Dishwashers
The 10th percentile is $22,190 per year. The 25th percentile is $23,160 per year. The median is $29,200 per year. The 75th percentile is $32,900 per year. The 90th percentile is $37,850 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 $23,160 per year to $32,900 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $15,660. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $29,200 per year. Montana has $30,130 per year. The U.S. row has $34,810 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area is 3.1% below Montana on the same published median. Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area is 16.1% 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 Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area sits for Dishwashers
Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area ranks 50 of 133 among nonmetro 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 50 of 133 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.
47. Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area has a Dishwashers median of $29,320 per year, 600 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.02.
48. Balance of Nevada nonmetropolitan area has a Dishwashers median of $29,270 per year, 460 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.66.
49. East-Central Montana nonmetropolitan area has a Dishwashers median of $29,260 per year, 200 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.08.
51. East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area has a Dishwashers median of $29,140 per year, 630 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.46.
Pay leaders
Where Dishwashers medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 35-9021, the same annual 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 $38,580 per year. Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area sits at $29,200 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. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has a Dishwashers median of $38,580 per year, or $9,380 above Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 900 jobs there, compared with 200 in Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 2.79.
2. Northwest Colorado nonmetropolitan area has a Dishwashers median of $37,530 per year, or $8,330 above Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 740 jobs there, compared with 200 in Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 1.83.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Dishwashers jobs
Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Dishwashers in this same-source set, at 900 jobs. Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area has 200. 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 900 estimated Dishwashers jobs, a gap of 700 jobs from Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $38,580 per year, or $9,380 above Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 2.79.
2. Southwest New York nonmetropolitan area has 820 estimated Dishwashers jobs, a gap of 620 jobs from Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $33,380 per year, or $4,180 above Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.5.
Local-share leaders
Where Dishwashers takes the largest share of local jobs
Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 2.79. Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area has 1.63. 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. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 2.79, a gap of 1.16 from Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 900 Dishwashers jobs and a median of $38,580 per year, or $9,380 above Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area.
2. South Florida nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 2.13, a gap of 0.50 from Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 570 Dishwashers jobs and a median of $33,280 per year, or $4,080 above Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Dishwashers is in Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 200 Dishwashers jobs in Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 4.99 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 1.63. 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 Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area is $46,780 per year. The Dishwashers median is $29,200 per year. Dishwashers is 37.6% 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 Southwest Montana 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 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. Fast Food and Counter Workers, SOC 35-3023, has a Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area median of $28,670 per year. BLS lists 1,160 jobs and a location quotient of 1.2.
2. Cashiers, SOC 41-2011, has a Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area median of $30,120 per year. BLS lists 1,140 jobs and a location quotient of 1.47.
3. Bartenders, SOC 35-3011, has a Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area median of $27,250 per year. BLS lists 650 jobs and a location quotient of 3.44.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area table, at 1,160 jobs. Dishwashers has 200 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 39,080. 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. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 1,160 jobs in Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 960 from Dishwashers. Its median is $28,670 per year, or $530 below Dishwashers. Its location quotient is 1.2.
2. Cashiers has 1,140 jobs in Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 940 from Dishwashers. Its median is $30,120 per year, or $920 above Dishwashers. Its location quotient is 1.47.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area role table, at $86,470 per year. Dishwashers has $29,200 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,780 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 $86,470 per year in Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area, or $57,270 above Dishwashers. BLS lists 770 jobs, compared with 200 for Dishwashers. Its location quotient is 0.9.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $79,180 per year in Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area, or $49,980 above Dishwashers. BLS lists 850 jobs, compared with 200 for Dishwashers. Its location quotient is 0.97.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area
Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has the highest location quotient in the bounded Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area role table, at 3.69. Dishwashers has 1.63. 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. Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has a location quotient of 3.69 in Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 2.06 from Dishwashers. BLS lists 440 jobs and a median of $59,370 per year, or $30,170 above Dishwashers.
2. Bartenders has a location quotient of 3.44 in Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1.81 from Dishwashers. BLS lists 650 jobs and a median of $27,250 per year, or $1,950 below Dishwashers.
Price-level view
What $29,200 may mean after the Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $29,200 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 Dishwashers 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 Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Dishwashers row is 12.7%. The mean-wage RSE is 3.7%. 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 200 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $29,180 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 Southwest Montana nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Dishwashers. It uses a Southwest Montana 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 $29,200 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 Southwest Montana 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 200 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.63 is not a growth score. Rank 50 of 133 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 35-9021 in BLS area 3000003. 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 200 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.
