BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Rockford, IL was 92.2, or 7.8% below the national price level. Its housing index was 70.1.
National-price-dollar proxy

WageScope divides the published Electricians 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 47-2111 and BLS area 40420.

Rockford, IL was 47.6% above the U.S. median for Electricians. It ranked 22 of 390 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 Electricians median in Rockford, IL at $93,280 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 47-2111 and BLS area 40420.
BLS lists 370 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 $89,650 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Rockford, IL's Electricians median is 47.6% above the U.S. Electricians median of $63,190 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 47-2111 and area 40420. SOC 47-2111 names Electricians. Area 40420 names Rockford, IL. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 47-2111/40420 row reports 370 wage and salary jobs, 2.67 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.55 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 47-2111/40420, the annual median is $93,280 per year, while the matching mean is $89,650 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 40420 facts behind this Electricians page
Area 40420 reports 137,650 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $61,020. Its annual median is $47,120. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.4%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 47-2111 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Rockford, IL runs from $31,200 at the 10th percentile to $101,100 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,260. The median is $47,120. The 75th percentile is $74,000. This is a place check, not a pay range for Electricians.
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 40420. They do not show related skills or a path into Electricians.
1. Area 40420, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 5,940 jobs, $44,200 annual median, 43.15 jobs per 1,000, and 2.27 location quotient.
2. Area 40420, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 4,620 jobs, $80,930 annual median, 33.54 jobs per 1,000, and 1.54 location quotient.
3. Area 40420, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 3,630 jobs, $31,640 annual median, 26.41 jobs per 1,000, and 1.07 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Rockford, IL wage ladder for Electricians
The 10th percentile is $58,690 per year. The 25th percentile is $74,210 per year. The median is $93,280 per year. The 75th percentile is $106,640 per year. The 90th percentile is $125,090 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 $74,210 per year to $106,640 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $66,400. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Rockford, IL has a annual median of $93,280 per year. Illinois has $99,560 per year. The U.S. row has $63,190 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Rockford, IL is 6.3% below Illinois on the same published median. Rockford, IL is 47.6% 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.
Rockford, IL ranks 22 of 390 among metro areas with a published annual median for Electricians. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 22 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.
19. Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA has a Electricians median of $96,600 per year, 530 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.84.
20. Eugene-Springfield, OR has a Electricians median of $94,680 per year, 750 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.97.
21. Wenatchee-East Wenatchee, WA has a Electricians median of $93,560 per year, 370 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.48.
23. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA has a Electricians median of $92,830 per year, 9,060 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.78.
Pay leaders
Where Electricians medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 47-2111, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Kankakee, IL has the highest published median in this set, at $105,500 per year. Rockford, IL sits at $93,280 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Electricians 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. Kankakee, IL has a Electricians median of $105,500 per year, or $12,220 above Rockford, IL. BLS lists 140 jobs there, compared with 370 in Rockford, IL. The location quotient is 0.66.
2. Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA has a Electricians median of $105,090 per year, or $11,810 above Rockford, IL. BLS lists 7,340 jobs there, compared with 370 in Rockford, IL. The location quotient is 1.25.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Electricians jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Electricians in this same-source set, at 36,550 jobs. Rockford, IL has 370. 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. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 36,550 estimated Electricians jobs, a gap of 36,180 jobs from Rockford, IL. Its median is $79,020 per year, or $14,260 below Rockford, IL. Its location quotient is 0.79.
2. Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX has 20,930 estimated Electricians jobs, a gap of 20,560 jobs from Rockford, IL. Its median is $59,010 per year, or $34,270 below Rockford, IL. Its location quotient is 1.06.
Local-share leaders
Where Electricians takes the largest share of local jobs
Kokomo, IN has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 4.2. Rockford, IL has 0.55. 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 Electricians 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. Kokomo, IN has a location quotient of 4.2, a gap of 3.65 from Rockford, IL. BLS lists 730 Electricians jobs and a median of $91,290 per year, or $1,990 below Rockford, IL.
2. Mount Vernon-Anacortes, WA has a location quotient of 2.89, a gap of 2.34 from Rockford, IL. BLS lists 740 Electricians jobs and a median of $104,510 per year, or $11,230 above Rockford, IL.
3. Gulfport-Biloxi, MS has a location quotient of 2.61, a gap of 2.06 from Rockford, IL. BLS lists 2,010 Electricians jobs and a median of $62,440 per year, or $30,840 below Rockford, IL.
Job scale and share
How common Electricians is in Rockford, IL
BLS lists 370 Electricians jobs in Rockford, IL. It also lists 2.67 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 0.55. A value of 1 means Electricians 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.
The all-occupations median in Rockford, IL is $47,120 per year. The Electricians median is $93,280 per year. Electricians is 98.0% 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 Rockford, IL. 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 Electricians. 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. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Rockford, IL median of $98,390 per year. BLS lists 3,340 jobs and a location quotient of 1.08.
2. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Rockford, IL median of $80,930 per year. BLS lists 4,620 jobs and a location quotient of 1.54.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Production and Operating Workers, SOC 51-1011, has a Rockford, IL median of $74,280 per year. BLS lists 1,050 jobs and a location quotient of 1.76.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Rockford, IL
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Rockford, IL table, at 5,940 jobs. Electricians has 370 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 137,650. 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 Electricians's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 5,940 jobs in Rockford, IL, a gap of 5,570 from Electricians. Its median is $44,200 per year, or $49,080 below Electricians. Its location quotient is 2.27.
2. Registered Nurses has 4,620 jobs in Rockford, IL, a gap of 4,250 from Electricians. Its median is $80,930 per year, or $12,350 below Electricians. Its location quotient is 1.54.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Rockford, IL
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Rockford, IL role table, at $98,390 per year. Electricians has $93,280 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,120 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 $98,390 per year in Rockford, IL, or $5,110 above Electricians. BLS lists 3,340 jobs, compared with 370 for Electricians. Its location quotient is 1.08.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $80,930 per year in Rockford, IL, or $12,350 below Electricians. BLS lists 4,620 jobs, compared with 370 for Electricians. Its location quotient is 1.54.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Production and Operating Workers has a median of $74,280 per year in Rockford, IL, or $19,000 below Electricians. BLS lists 1,050 jobs, compared with 370 for Electricians. Its location quotient is 1.76.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Rockford, IL
Computer Numerically Controlled Tool Operators has the highest location quotient in the bounded Rockford, IL role table, at 9.18. Electricians has 0.55. 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 Electricians with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Computer Numerically Controlled Tool Operators has a location quotient of 9.18 in Rockford, IL, a gap of 8.63 from Electricians. BLS lists 1,380 jobs and a median of $46,780 per year, or $46,500 below Electricians.
2. Machinists has a location quotient of 7.1 in Rockford, IL, a gap of 6.55 from Electricians. BLS lists 1,800 jobs and a median of $49,700 per year, or $43,580 below Electricians.
3. Packaging and Filling Machine Operators and Tenders has a location quotient of 4.11 in Rockford, IL, a gap of 3.56 from Electricians. BLS lists 1,380 jobs and a median of $40,990 per year, or $52,290 below Electricians.
Price-level view
What $93,280 may mean after the Rockford, IL price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Rockford, IL is 92.2. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.8% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $93,280 Electricians median by 92.2 divided by 100. The result is $101,222 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 70.1. Goods are 93.6. Utilities are 89.4. Other services are 99.6. 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 Electricians row is 5.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.8%. 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 370 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $89,650 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 Electricians. It uses a Rockford, IL 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. Job cards can change without changing this guide. They do not count toward the 1,500-word content floor. A listing range does not replace the $93,280 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 Electricians row for Rockford, IL 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 370 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.55 is not a growth score. Rank 22 of 390 is not a place score. The 92.2 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 47-2111 in BLS area 40420. 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.
