Compare Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $44,320 per year. Delaware has $46,140 per year. The U.S. row has $47,720 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area is 3.9% below Delaware on the same published median. Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area is 7.1% 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 benchmarks, 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area sits for Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic
Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area ranks 41 of 62 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 41 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.
38. Southern Indiana nonmetropolitan area. The Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median is $45,620 per year. BLS estimates 270 jobs. The location quotient is 3.49.

Pay leaders
Where Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 51-4021, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. High Desert Utah nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $71,850 per year. Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area sits at $44,320 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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 limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. High Desert Utah nonmetropolitan area has a Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $71,850 per year, or $27,530 above Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area.

2. Central New Hampshire nonmetropolitan area has a Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $68,010 per year, or $23,690 above Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area.

Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs
West Northwestern Ohio nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic in this same-source set, at 650 jobs. Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area has 40. 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. West Northwestern Ohio nonmetropolitan area has 650 estimated Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs, a gap of 610 jobs from Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $47,390 per year, or $3,070 above Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 6.66.
2. Northern Indiana nonmetropolitan area has 560 estimated Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs, a gap of 520 jobs from Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $55,680 per year, or $11,360 above Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 6.76.
Local-share leaders
Where Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic takes the largest share of local jobs
Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 14.45. Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area has 1.12. 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 Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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. Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 14.45, a gap of 13.33 from Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 300 Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs and a median of $58,080 per year, or $13,760 above Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area.
2. Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 7.34, a gap of 6.22 from Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area.

Job scale and share
How common Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic is in Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 40 Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs in Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 0.44 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 1.12. A value of 1 means Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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.
Local job mix
Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic beside other roles in Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area is $44,190 per year.

This compares one role with the full covered job mix.
The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Sussex Delaware 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 Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. 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.

Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has 40 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 97,540. 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 Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Meat, Poultry, and Fish Cutters and Trimmers has 4,460 jobs in Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 4,420 from Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area role table, at $129,410 per year. Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has $44,320 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $44,190 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 $129,410 per year in Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area, or $85,090 above Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area
Meat, Poultry, and Fish Cutters and Trimmers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area role table, at 48.8. Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has 1.12. 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 Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Meat, Poultry, and Fish Cutters and Trimmers has a location quotient of 48.8 in Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 47.68 from Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.

Price-level view
What $44,320 may mean after the Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $44,320 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 Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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.
Data care
How much care to use with the Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic row is 20.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 3.8%. 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 40 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $44,840 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 Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. It uses a Sussex Delaware 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 $44,320 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 Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic row for Sussex Delaware 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 40 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.12 is not a growth score. Rank 41 of 62 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 51-4021 in BLS area 1000005. 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.
How many Extruding and Drawing Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs does BLS estimate in Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area?
BLS estimates 40 wage and salary jobs for this row. This is a survey estimate. It does not count open jobs or predict future hiring.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. We show job posts in a separate list. Each has its own source and check date. Posted pay does not change the BLS pay data.
