BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Anchorage, AK was 105.4, or 5.4% above the national price level. Its housing index was 109.9.

WageScope divides the published Economists median by the BEA all-items index. This is a price-level comparison, not take-home pay, a personal budget, or a quality-of-life score.
Use the local pay range, same-source bench marks, job scale, price level, and survey care marks as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 19-3011 and BLS area 11260.

Anchorage, AK was 12.2% below the U.S. median for Economists. It ranked 29 of 62 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Economists median in Anchorage, AK at $109,480 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 19-3011 and BLS area 11260.
BLS lists 30 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 $129,360 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Anchorage, AK's Economists median is 12.2% below the U.S. Economists median of $124,720 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 19-3011 and area 11260. SOC 19-3011 names Economists. Area 11260 names Anchorage, AK. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 19-3011/11260 row reports 30 wage and salary jobs, 0.19 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.64 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 19-3011/11260, the annual median is $109,480 per year, while the matching mean is $129,360 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 11260 reports 177,050 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $75,180. Its annual median is $60,200. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.4%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 19-3011 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Anchorage, AK runs from $34,770 at the 10th percentile to $129,160 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $42,600. The median is $60,200. The 75th percentile is $93,620. This is a place check, not a pay range for Economists.
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 11260. They do not show related skills or a path into Economists.
1. Area 11260, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 4,990 jobs, $115,290 annual median, 28.17 jobs per 1,000, and 1.3 location quotient.
2. Area 11260, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 4,710 jobs, $37,520 annual median, 26.59 jobs per 1,000, and 1.06 location quotient.
3. Area 11260, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 4,440 jobs, $39,140 annual median, 25.08 jobs per 1,000, and 0.91 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Anchorage, AK wage ladder for Economists
The 10th percentile is $83,600 per year. The 25th percentile is $92,590 per year. The median is $109,480 per year. The 75th percentile is $130,200 per year. The 90th percentile is $161,940 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 $92,590 per year to $130,200 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $78,340. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Anchorage, AK has a annual median of $109,480 per year. Alaska has $111,040 per year. The U.S. row has $124,720 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Anchorage, AK is 1.4% below Alaska on the same published median. Anchorage, AK is 12.2% 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.
Anchorage, AK ranks 29 of 62 among metro areas with a published annual median for Economists. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 29 of 62 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.
26. Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia, NC-SC has a Economists median of $117,600 per year, 80 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.49.
27. Nashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro--Franklin, TN has a Economists median of $116,990 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.34.
28. Richmond, VA has a Economists median of $112,330 per year, 120 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.59.
30. Oklahoma City, OK has a Economists median of $108,620 per year, 30 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.43.
Pay leaders
Where Economists medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 19-3011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the highest published median in this set, at $176,090 per year. Anchorage, AK sits at $109,480 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Economists 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. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has a Economists median of $176,090 per year, or $66,610 above Anchorage, AK. BLS lists 850 jobs there, compared with 30 in Anchorage, AK. The location quotient is 0.78.
2. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV has a Economists median of $156,750 per year, or $47,270 above Anchorage, AK. BLS lists 4,570 jobs there, compared with 30 in Anchorage, AK. The location quotient is 12.74.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Economists jobs
Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV has the largest published metro job estimate for Economists in this same-source set, at 4,570 jobs. Anchorage, AK has 30. 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. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV has 4,570 estimated Economists jobs, a gap of 4,540 jobs from Anchorage, AK. Its median is $156,750 per year, or $47,270 above Anchorage, AK. Its location quotient is 12.74.
2. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 850 estimated Economists jobs, a gap of 820 jobs from Anchorage, AK. Its median is $176,090 per year, or $66,610 above Anchorage, AK. Its location quotient is 0.78.
Local-share leaders
Where Economists takes the largest share of local jobs
Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 12.74. Anchorage, AK has 1.64. 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 Economists 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. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV has a location quotient of 12.74, a gap of 11.10 from Anchorage, AK. BLS lists 4,570 Economists jobs and a median of $156,750 per year, or $47,270 above Anchorage, AK.
2. Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA has a location quotient of 10.93, a gap of 9.29 from Anchorage, AK. BLS lists 160 Economists jobs and a median of $103,000 per year, or $6,480 below Anchorage, AK.
3. Helena, MT has a location quotient of 5.9, a gap of 4.26 from Anchorage, AK. BLS lists 30 Economists jobs and a median of $89,340 per year, or $20,140 below Anchorage, AK.
Job scale and share
How common Economists is in Anchorage, AK
BLS lists 30 Economists jobs in Anchorage, AK. It also lists 0.19 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 1.64. A value of 1 means Economists 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.
The all-occupations median in Anchorage, AK is $60,200 per year. The Economists median is $109,480 per year. Economists is 81.9% 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 Anchorage, AK. 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 Economists. 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. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Anchorage, AK median of $115,290 per year. BLS lists 4,990 jobs and a location quotient of 1.3.
2. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Anchorage, AK median of $120,030 per year. BLS lists 3,290 jobs and a location quotient of 0.82.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers, SOC 49-1011, has a Anchorage, AK median of $97,830 per year. BLS lists 1,370 jobs and a location quotient of 1.95.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Anchorage, AK
Registered Nurses is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Anchorage, AK table, at 4,990 jobs. Economists has 30 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 177,050. 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 Economists's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Registered Nurses has 4,990 jobs in Anchorage, AK, a gap of 4,960 from Economists. Its median is $115,290 per year, or $5,810 above Economists. Its location quotient is 1.3.
2. Retail Salespersons has 4,710 jobs in Anchorage, AK, a gap of 4,680 from Economists. Its median is $37,520 per year, or $71,960 below Economists. Its location quotient is 1.06.
3. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 4,440 jobs in Anchorage, AK, a gap of 4,410 from Economists. Its median is $39,140 per year, or $70,340 below Economists. Its location quotient is 0.91.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Anchorage, AK
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Anchorage, AK role table, at $120,030 per year. Economists has $109,480 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $60,200 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. General and Operations Managers has a median of $120,030 per year in Anchorage, AK, or $10,550 above Economists. BLS lists 3,290 jobs, compared with 30 for Economists. Its location quotient is 0.82.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $115,290 per year in Anchorage, AK, or $5,810 above Economists. BLS lists 4,990 jobs, compared with 30 for Economists. Its location quotient is 1.3.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers has a median of $97,830 per year in Anchorage, AK, or $11,650 below Economists. BLS lists 1,370 jobs, compared with 30 for Economists. Its location quotient is 1.95.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Anchorage, AK
Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded Anchorage, AK role table, at 2.09. Economists has 1.64. 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 Economists 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 2.09 in Anchorage, AK, a gap of 0.45 from Economists. BLS lists 1,520 jobs and a median of $33,960 per year, or $75,520 below Economists.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers has a location quotient of 1.95 in Anchorage, AK, a gap of 0.31 from Economists. BLS lists 1,370 jobs and a median of $97,830 per year, or $11,650 below Economists.
3. Carpenters has a location quotient of 1.91 in Anchorage, AK, a gap of 0.27 from Economists. BLS lists 1,460 jobs and a median of $72,800 per year, or $36,680 below Economists.
Price-level view
What $109,480 may mean after the Anchorage, AK price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Anchorage, AK is 105.4. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 5.4% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $109,480 Economists median by 105.4 divided by 100. The result is $103,851 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 109.9. Goods are 107.3. Utilities are 111.8. Other services are 103.3. 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 Economists row is 49.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 15.1%. 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 30 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $129,360 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 Economists. It uses a Anchorage, AK 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 $109,480 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 Economists row for Anchorage, AK 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 30 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.64 is not a growth score. Rank 29 of 62 is not a place score. The 105.4 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 19-3011 in BLS area 11260. 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.
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.
