What the Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers median says in California
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers median in California at $89,010 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 51-6092 and BLS area 06.
BLS lists 930 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 $84,560 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
California's Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers median is 41.8% above the U.S. Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers median of $62,750 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 51-6092 and area 06. SOC 51-6092 names Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers. Area 06 names California. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 51-6092/06 row reports 930 wage and salary jobs, 0.05 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 2.69 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 51-6092/06, the annual median is $89,010 per year, while the matching mean is $84,560 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 06 facts behind this Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers page
Area 06 reports 18,213,700 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $80,690. Its annual median is $58,240. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 51-6092 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in California runs from $35,950 at the 10th percentile to $159,080 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $41,600. The median is $58,240. The 75th percentile is $97,880. This is a place check, not a pay range for Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers.
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 06. They do not show related skills or a path into Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers.
1. Area 06, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 970,150 jobs, $34,320 annual median, 53.27 jobs per 1,000, and 1.92 location quotient.
2. Area 06, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 449,840 jobs, $42,280 annual median, 24.7 jobs per 1,000, and 1 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the California wage ladder for Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers
The 10th percentile is $47,730 per year. The 25th percentile is $64,690 per year. The median is $89,010 per year. The 75th percentile is $99,740 per year. The 90th percentile is $114,800 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 $64,690 per year to $99,740 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $67,070. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
California has a annual median of $89,010 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $62,750 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for California. California is 41.8% 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.
Where California sits for Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers
California ranks 2 of 13 among states and territories with a published annual median for Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 2 of 13 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.
1. New York has a Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers median of $101,230 per year, 670 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 3.62.
3. Pennsylvania has a Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers median of $65,900 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.38.
4. Indiana has a Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers median of $59,400 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.77.
5. Missouri has a Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers median of $56,490 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.85.
Pay leaders
Where Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 51-6092, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. New York has the highest published median in this set, at $101,230 per year. California sits at $89,010 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers 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 has a Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers median of $101,230 per year, or $12,220 above California. BLS lists 670 jobs there, compared with 930 in California. The location quotient is 3.62.
2. California has a Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers median of $89,010 per year, or $0 above California. BLS lists 930 jobs there, compared with 930 in California. The location quotient is 2.69.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers in this same-source set, at 930 jobs. California has 930. 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. California has 930 estimated Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers jobs, a gap of 0 jobs from California. Its median is $89,010 per year, or $0 above California. Its location quotient is 2.69.
2. New York has 670 estimated Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers jobs, a gap of 260 jobs from California. Its median is $101,230 per year, or $12,220 above California. Its location quotient is 3.62.
Local-share leaders
Where Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers takes the largest share of local jobs
New York has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 3.62. California has 2.69. 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 Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers 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. New York has a location quotient of 3.62, a gap of 0.93 from California. BLS lists 670 Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers jobs and a median of $101,230 per year, or $12,220 above California.
2. North Carolina has a location quotient of 2.9, a gap of 0.21 from California. BLS lists 270 Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers jobs and a median of $48,180 per year, or $40,830 below California.
3. California has a location quotient of 2.69, a gap of 0.00 from California. BLS lists 930 Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers jobs and a median of $89,010 per year, or $0 above California.
Job scale and share
How common Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers is in California
BLS lists 930 Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers jobs in California. It also lists 0.05 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 2.69. A value of 1 means Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers 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.
Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers beside other roles in California
The all-occupations median in California is $58,240 per year. The Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers median is $89,010 per year. Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers is 52.8% 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 California. 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 Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers. 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. Business Operations Specialists, All Other, SOC 13-1199, has a California median of $87,570 per year. BLS lists 155,000 jobs and a location quotient of 1.22.
2. Accountants and Auditors, SOC 13-2011, has a California median of $97,050 per year. BLS lists 175,360 jobs and a location quotient of 1.03.
3. Sales Representatives of Services, Except Advertising, Insurance, Financial Services, and Travel, SOC 41-3091, has a California median of $80,850 per year. BLS lists 156,110 jobs and a location quotient of 1.06.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in California
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded California table, at 970,150 jobs. Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers has 930 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 18,213,700. 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 Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 970,150 jobs in California, a gap of 969,220 from Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers. Its median is $34,320 per year, or $54,690 below Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers. Its location quotient is 1.92.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 449,840 jobs in California, a gap of 448,910 from Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers. Its median is $42,280 per year, or $46,730 below Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers. Its location quotient is 1.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around California
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded California role table, at $174,410 per year. Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers has $89,010 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $58,240 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 $174,410 per year in California, or $85,400 above Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers. BLS lists 284,390 jobs, compared with 930 for Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers. Its location quotient is 1.44.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $140,270 per year in California, or $51,260 above Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers. BLS lists 338,940 jobs, compared with 930 for Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers. Its location quotient is 0.86.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in California
Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has the highest location quotient in the bounded California role table, at 5.54. Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers has 2.69. 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 Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has a location quotient of 5.54 in California, a gap of 2.85 from Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers. BLS lists 172,260 jobs and a median of $35,580 per year, or $53,430 below Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has a location quotient of 1.92 in California, a gap of 0.77 from Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers. BLS lists 970,150 jobs and a median of $34,320 per year, or $54,690 below Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers.
Price-level view
What $89,010 may mean after the California price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for California is 110.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 10.7% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $89,010 Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers median by 110.7 divided by 100. The result is $80,392 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 154.3. Goods are 106.1. Utilities are 158.9. Other services are 102.6. 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 Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers row is 22.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 6.4%. 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 930 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $84,560 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 Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers. It uses a California 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 $89,010 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 Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers row for California 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 930 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 2.69 is not a growth score. Rank 2 of 13 is not a place score. The 110.7 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-6092 in BLS area 06. 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 930 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.
