What the Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median says in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX at $61,550 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 12420.
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 $62,620 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX's Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median is 2.3% above the U.S. Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median of $60,190 on the same published median.

Like-for-like rank
Where Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX sits for Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas
Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX ranks 36 of 82 among metro areas 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 36 of 82 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.

Pay leaders
Where Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 47-5023, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Fairbanks-College, AK has the highest published median in this set, at $94,600 per year. Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX sits at $61,550 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. Fairbanks-College, AK has a Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median of $94,600 per year, or $33,050 above Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX. BLS lists 60 jobs there, compared with 170 in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX. The location quotient is 12.32.
2. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA has a Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median of $89,300 per year, or $27,750 above Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX. BLS lists 90 jobs there, compared with 170 in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX. The location quotient is 0.33.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas jobs
Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ has the largest published metro job estimate for Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas in this same-source set, at 650 jobs. Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX 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. Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ has 650 estimated Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas jobs, a gap of 480 jobs from Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX. Its median is $58,750 per year, or $2,800 below Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX. Its location quotient is 2.17.
2. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 530 estimated Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas jobs, a gap of 360 jobs from Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX. Its median is $74,120 per year, or $12,570 above Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX. Its location quotient is 0.44.
Local-share leaders
Where Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas takes the largest share of local jobs
Fairbanks-College, AK has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 12.32. Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX has 1.04. 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. Fairbanks-College, AK has a location quotient of 12.32, a gap of 11.28 from Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX. BLS lists 60 Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas jobs and a median of $94,600 per year, or $33,050 above Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX.

Job scale and share
How common Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas is in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX
BLS lists 170 Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas jobs in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX. It also lists 0.13 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 1.04. 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 the same 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
Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas beside other roles in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX. 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.

The all-occupations job count is 1,293,690. 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. General and Operations Managers has 42,190 jobs in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX, a gap of 42,020 from Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. Its median is $117,850 per year, or $56,300 above Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. Its location quotient is 1.45.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX
Computer and Information Systems Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX role table, at $176,990 per year. Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas has $61,550 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $56,950 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. Computer and Information Systems Managers has a median of $176,990 per year in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX, or $115,440 above Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. BLS lists 11,050 jobs, compared with 170 for Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. Its location quotient is 1.98.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX
Computer Occupations, All Other has the highest location quotient in the bounded Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX role table, at 2.79. Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas has 1.04. 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. Computer Occupations, All Other has a location quotient of 2.79 in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX, a gap of 1.75 from Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. BLS lists 10,100 jobs and a median of $129,470 per year, or $67,920 above Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas.

Price-level view
What $61,550 may mean after the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX is 98.1. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 1.9% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $61,550 Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas median by 98.1 divided by 100. The result is $62,764 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 120.4. Goods are 93.8. Utilities are 82.0. Other services are 96.2. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX row
The employment RSE for this Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas row is 38.3%. The mean-wage RSE is 5.1%. 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 170 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $62,620 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 Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas. It uses a Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX 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 $61,550 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 Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas row for Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX 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 1.04 is not a growth score. Rank 36 of 82 is not a place score. The 98.1 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 12420. 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.
