A same-metric difference from the U.S. median is unavailable for this row. The row could not be ranked because the matching median was unavailable. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
Price-level context
What the local median may buy
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Maryland was 105, or 5% above the national price level. Its housing index was 121.1.
National-price-dollar proxy
Not available
WageScope divides the published Fashion Designers 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 27-1022 and BLS area 24.
Questions, answered
Fashion Designers pay in Maryland: common questions
What is the median wage for Fashion Designers in Maryland?
BLS did not publish a median for Fashion Designers in Maryland in the May 2025 OEWS release. WageScope does not substitute or infer the missing wage.
Is Fashion Designers pay higher in Maryland than nationally?
BLS did not publish the same median metric needed to compare Maryland with the United States.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Maryland?
No wage price proxy is available because BLS did not publish an exact local median. A top-coded bound is not an exact wage input. A BEA price index, when available, describes prices separately and cannot fill that wage gap.

What the Fashion Designers median says in Maryland
BLS did not publish an exact median for Fashion Designers in Maryland in the May 2025 OEWS release. The source display is Not published. WageScope does not borrow the U.S. wage, use a nearby place, or turn this gap into zero. The row stays tied to SOC 27-1022 and BLS area 24.
BLS lists 120 wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate, not a count of open posts. The mean display is Not published. A mean and a median are separate fields; one does not fill a gap in the other.
A local-to-national median gap cannot be computed from this row. The national source belongs to the United States and does not become Maryland's wage. Any published percentile or job-count field below keeps its own scope, period, and source key.
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 27-1022 and area 24. SOC 27-1022 names Fashion Designers. Area 24 names Maryland. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 27-1022/24 row reports 120 wage and salary jobs, 0.05 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.32 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 27-1022/24, the annual median is Not published, while the matching mean is Not published. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.

BLS area 24 facts behind this Fashion Designers page
Area 24 reports 2,763,030 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $77,580. Its annual median is $59,510. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 27-1022 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Maryland runs from $34,520 at the 10th percentile to $145,410 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $39,440. The median is $59,510. The 75th percentile is $98,010. This is a place check, not a pay range for Fashion Designers.
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 24. They do not show related skills or a path into Fashion Designers.
1. Area 24, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 96,740 jobs, $117,930 annual median, 35.01 jobs per 1,000, and 1.55 location quotient.
2. Area 24, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 79,320 jobs, $35,510 annual median, 28.71 jobs per 1,000, and 1.15 location quotient.
3. Area 24, SOC 43-6014, Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive: 54,890 jobs, $48,680 annual median, 19.87 jobs per 1,000, and 1.81 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Maryland wage ladder for Fashion Designers
The 10th percentile is Not published. The 25th percentile is Not published. The median is Not published. The 75th percentile is Not published. The 90th percentile is Not published.
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 Not published to Not published. The 10th-to-90th span is not available. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Maryland has a annual median of Not published. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $80,960 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Maryland. Maryland cannot be compared with the United States on the same published median. WageScope leaves that gap open. 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.
Maryland has no exact published median that can enter this Fashion Designers pay rank. WageScope leaves the rank open. It does not treat a missing or top-coded value as an exact amount, and it does not place this row at the bottom of a list.
Other states and territories may have exact medians in the same release. Those rows can be read on their own pages. They cannot establish a wage or a nearest wage neighbor for Maryland without the missing local field.
Employment and local share remain separate source fields for SOC 27-1022. Neither field is a substitute for median pay. A job count does not say where a wage would rank, and a share measure does not set a pay floor or ceiling.
Where Fashion Designers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 27-1022, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Massachusetts has the highest published median in this set, at $103,520 per year. Maryland sits at Not published.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Fashion Designers 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. Massachusetts has a Fashion Designers median of $103,520 per year, or not available. BLS lists 540 jobs there, compared with 120 in Maryland. The location quotient is 1.08.
2. New Jersey has a Fashion Designers median of $101,610 per year, or not available. BLS lists 160 jobs there, compared with 120 in Maryland. The location quotient is 0.27.
3. New Hampshire has a Fashion Designers median of $100,160 per year, or not available. BLS lists 40 jobs there, compared with 120 in Maryland. The location quotient is 0.44.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Fashion Designers jobs
New York has the largest published state job estimate for Fashion Designers in this same-source set, at 5,760 jobs. Maryland has 120. 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 has 5,760 estimated Fashion Designers jobs, a gap of 5,640 jobs from Maryland. Its median is $98,640 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 4.31.
2. Texas has 1,850 estimated Fashion Designers jobs, a gap of 1,730 jobs from Maryland. Its median is $40,040 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 0.95.
3. Florida has 1,100 estimated Fashion Designers jobs, a gap of 980 jobs from Maryland. Its median is $43,020 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 0.8.
Local-share leaders
Where Fashion Designers takes the largest share of local jobs
New York has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 4.31. Maryland has 0.32. 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 Fashion Designers 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 4.31, a gap of 3.99 from Maryland. BLS lists 5,760 Fashion Designers jobs and a median of $98,640 per year, or not available.
2. Vermont has a location quotient of 1.32, a gap of 1.00 from Maryland. BLS lists 60 Fashion Designers jobs and a median of $79,610 per year, or not available.
3. Massachusetts has a location quotient of 1.08, a gap of 0.76 from Maryland. BLS lists 540 Fashion Designers jobs and a median of $103,520 per year, or not available.
Job scale and share
How common Fashion Designers is in Maryland
BLS lists 120 Fashion Designers jobs in Maryland. 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 0.32. A value of 1 means Fashion Designers 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 Maryland is $59,510 per year. It covers the full local job mix and does not replace the missing exact Fashion Designers median. WageScope cannot calculate a same-unit wage gap from the role to that broader row.
No nearest-pay role list is shown for this row. Such a list needs an exact local median in the same wage unit. A title, employment count, or national wage cannot supply that missing input.
Other roles in Maryland still have their own source pages. Use those pages for their own official estimates, with each SOC code and period intact. Do not infer common tasks, skills, career paths, or pay for Fashion Designers from another role's number.
General and Operations Managers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Maryland table, at 96,740 jobs. Fashion Designers has 120 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 2,763,030. 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 Fashion Designers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. General and Operations Managers has 96,740 jobs in Maryland, a gap of 96,620 from Fashion Designers. Its median is $117,930 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 1.55.
2. Retail Salespersons has 79,320 jobs in Maryland, a gap of 79,200 from Fashion Designers. Its median is $35,510 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 1.15.
3. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has 54,890 jobs in Maryland, a gap of 54,770 from Fashion Designers. Its median is $48,680 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 1.81.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Maryland
Financial Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Maryland role table, at $158,750 per year. Fashion Designers has Not published. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $59,510 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. Financial Managers has a median of $158,750 per year in Maryland, or not available. BLS lists 19,770 jobs, compared with 120 for Fashion Designers. Its location quotient is 1.32.
2. Software Developers has a median of $138,680 per year in Maryland, or not available. BLS lists 31,350 jobs, compared with 120 for Fashion Designers. Its location quotient is 1.05.
3. Management Analysts has a median of $121,680 per year in Maryland, or not available. BLS lists 19,170 jobs, compared with 120 for Fashion Designers. Its location quotient is 1.2.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Maryland
Business Operations Specialists, All Other has the highest location quotient in the bounded Maryland role table, at 2.06. Fashion Designers has 0.32. 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 Fashion Designers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Business Operations Specialists, All Other has a location quotient of 2.06 in Maryland, a gap of 1.74 from Fashion Designers. BLS lists 39,820 jobs and a median of $101,500 per year, or not available.
2. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has a location quotient of 1.81 in Maryland, a gap of 1.49 from Fashion Designers. BLS lists 54,890 jobs and a median of $48,680 per year, or not available.
3. Project Management Specialists has a location quotient of 1.61 in Maryland, a gap of 1.29 from Fashion Designers. BLS lists 30,530 jobs and a median of $104,040 per year, or not available.
Price-level view
Why a wage price proxy is unavailable in Maryland
No national-price-dollar wage proxy is available for Fashion Designers in Maryland because BLS did not publish the exact median needed for that math. A missing or top-coded median is not zero and is not an exact wage input.
BEA separately published a 2024 all-items price index of 105.0 for Maryland. The U.S. level is 100. This source can describe broad local prices, but it cannot supply the missing BLS wage for SOC 27-1022.
A price-level wage calculation needs a published wage in the correct unit and an exact reviewed price-area match. Until both inputs exist, WageScope leaves that answer open. Published employment, source dates, and wage-status fields remain useful on their own without an inferred spending-power claim.
The employment RSE for this Fashion Designers row is 37.3%. The mean-wage RSE is Not published. 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 120 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the Not published 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 Fashion Designers. It uses a Maryland 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 Not published 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 Fashion Designers row for Maryland 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 120 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.32 is not a growth score. The unranked row is not a place score. The 105.0 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 27-1022 in BLS area 24. 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 120 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.
