What the Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median says in Alabama
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median in Alabama at $46,440 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 47-5023 and BLS area 01.
BLS lists 170 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 $51,640 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Alabama's Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median is 22.8% below the U.S. Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median of $60,190 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 47-5023 and area 01. SOC 47-5023 names Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. Area 01 names Alabama. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 47-5023/01 row reports 170 wage and salary jobs, 0.08 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.63 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 47-5023/01, the annual median is $46,440 per year, while the matching mean is $51,640 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 01 facts behind this Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas page
Area 01 reports 2,113,660 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $57,500. Its annual median is $45,670. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 47-5023 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Alabama runs from $26,090 at the 10th percentile to $101,250 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $32,050. The median is $45,670. The 75th percentile is $66,790. This is a place check, not a pay range for Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas.
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 01. They do not show related skills or a path into Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas.
1. Area 01, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 60,880 jobs, $30,040 annual median, 28.81 jobs per 1,000, and 1.15 location quotient.
2. Area 01, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 54,340 jobs, $77,080 annual median, 25.71 jobs per 1,000, and 1.18 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Alabama wage ladder for Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas
The 10th percentile is $43,740 per year. The 25th percentile is $44,980 per year. The median is $46,440 per year. The 75th percentile is $48,950 per year. The 90th percentile is $67,970 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 $44,980 per year to $48,950 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $24,230. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Alabama has a annual median of $46,440 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $60,190 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Alabama. Alabama is 22.8% 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 Alabama sits for Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas
Alabama ranks 46 of 48 among states and territories with a published annual median for Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 46 of 48 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.
43. Iowa has a Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median of $54,000 per year, 190 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.96.
44. Missouri has a Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median of $51,530 per year, 370 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.
45. Georgia has a Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median of $50,030 per year, 870 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.42.
47. Arkansas has a Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median of $46,160 per year, 110 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.69.
Pay leaders
Where Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 47-5023, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Washington has the highest published median in this set, at $80,490 per year. Alabama sits at $46,440 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas 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. Washington has a Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median of $80,490 per year, or $34,050 above Alabama. BLS lists 210 jobs there, compared with 170 in Alabama. The location quotient is 0.47.
2. Alaska has a Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median of $80,040 per year, or $33,600 above Alabama. BLS lists 290 jobs there, compared with 170 in Alabama. The location quotient is 7.15.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas jobs
Texas has the largest published state job estimate for Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas in this same-source set, at 1,930 jobs. Alabama has 170. 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. Texas has 1,930 estimated Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas jobs, a gap of 1,760 jobs from Alabama. Its median is $58,700 per year, or $12,260 above Alabama. Its location quotient is 1.1.
2. California has 1,630 estimated Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas jobs, a gap of 1,460 jobs from Alabama. Its median is $66,910 per year, or $20,470 above Alabama. Its location quotient is 0.71.
Local-share leaders
Where Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas takes the largest share of local jobs
Alaska has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 7.15. Alabama has 0.63. 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 Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas 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 has a location quotient of 7.15, a gap of 6.52 from Alabama. BLS lists 290 Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas jobs and a median of $80,040 per year, or $33,600 above Alabama.
2. Nevada has a location quotient of 6.95, a gap of 6.32 from Alabama. BLS lists 1,350 Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas jobs and a median of $61,030 per year, or $14,590 above Alabama.
3. Idaho has a location quotient of 4.24, a gap of 3.61 from Alabama. BLS lists 450 Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas jobs and a median of $54,830 per year, or $8,390 above Alabama.
Job scale and share
How common Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas is in Alabama
BLS lists 170 Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas jobs in Alabama. It also lists 0.08 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 0.63. A value of 1 means Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is lower 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.
Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas beside other roles in Alabama
The all-occupations median in Alabama is $45,670 per year. The Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median is $46,440 per year. Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas is 1.7% 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 Alabama. 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 Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. 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. First-Line Supervisors of Retail Sales Workers, SOC 41-1011, has a Alabama median of $44,860 per year. BLS lists 25,020 jobs and a location quotient of 1.64.
2. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks, SOC 43-3031, has a Alabama median of $44,640 per year. BLS lists 19,890 jobs and a location quotient of 1.07.
3. Maintenance and Repair Workers, General, SOC 49-9071, has a Alabama median of $43,630 per year. BLS lists 16,660 jobs and a location quotient of 0.8.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Alabama
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Alabama table, at 60,880 jobs. Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas has 170 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 2,113,660. 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 Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 60,880 jobs in Alabama, a gap of 60,710 from Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. Its median is $30,040 per year, or $16,400 below Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. Its location quotient is 1.15.
2. Registered Nurses has 54,340 jobs in Alabama, a gap of 54,170 from Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. Its median is $77,080 per year, or $30,640 above Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. Its location quotient is 1.18.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Alabama
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Alabama role table, at $122,540 per year. Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas has $46,440 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $45,670 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. Software Developers has a median of $122,540 per year in Alabama, or $76,100 above Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. BLS lists 17,450 jobs, compared with 170 for Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. Its location quotient is 0.76.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $111,790 per year in Alabama, or $65,350 above Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. BLS lists 30,170 jobs, compared with 170 for Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. Its location quotient is 0.63.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Alabama
Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded Alabama role table, at 3.07. Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas has 0.63. 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 Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Cooks, Fast Food has a location quotient of 3.07 in Alabama, a gap of 2.44 from Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. BLS lists 26,740 jobs and a median of $27,870 per year, or $18,570 below Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas.
2. Industrial Machinery Mechanics has a location quotient of 2.99 in Alabama, a gap of 2.36 from Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. BLS lists 17,850 jobs and a median of $61,920 per year, or $15,480 above Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas.
Price-level view
What $46,440 may mean after the Alabama price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Alabama is 88.8. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 11.2% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $46,440 Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median by 88.8 divided by 100. The result is $52,284 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 61.8. Goods are 96.4. Utilities are 84.6. Other services are 96.7. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas row is 40.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 8.3%. 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 170 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $51,640 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.
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. It uses a Alabama 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 $46,440 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 Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas row for Alabama 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 170 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.63 is not a growth score. Rank 46 of 48 is not a place score. The 88.8 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 47-5023 in BLS area 01. 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 170 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.
