How much do fast food and counter workers make in Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area?

What the Fast Food and Counter Workers median says in Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area

The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Fast Food and Counter Workers median in Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area at $26,100 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 35-3023 and BLS area 5600006.

BLS lists 2,480 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 $27,090 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area's Fast Food and Counter Workers median is 16.3% below the U.S. Fast Food and Counter Workers median of $31,200 on the same published median. Both values use the same job code and source date. They do not account for prices, taxes, benefits, hours, or your work history.

Read source key 35-3023 with area 5600006

This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 35-3023 and area 5600006. SOC 35-3023 names Fast Food and Counter Workers. Area 5600006 names Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.

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 $20,820 per year to $29,950 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $16,840. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.

Compare Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.

Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $26,100 per year. Wyoming has $27,860 per year. The U.S. row has $31,200 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.

Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area is 6.3% below Wyoming on the same published median. Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area is 16.3% 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.

Where Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area sits for Fast Food and Counter Workers

Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area ranks 96 of 137 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Fast Food and Counter Workers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.

Rank 96 of 137 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.

Where Fast Food and Counter Workers medians lead among nonmetro areas

The rows below use the same SOC 35-3023, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. North Valley-Northern Mountains Region of California nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $41,910 per year. Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area sits at $26,100 per year.

A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Fast Food and Counter Workers 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.

Where BLS counts the most Fast Food and Counter Workers jobs

Kansas nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Fast Food and Counter Workers in this same-source set, at 12,330 jobs. Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area has 2,480. 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.

Where Fast Food and Counter Workers takes the largest share of local jobs

Eastern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 1.79. Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area has 0.99. 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 Fast Food and Counter Workers 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.

How common Fast Food and Counter Workers is in Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area

BLS lists 2,480 Fast Food and Counter Workers jobs in Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 24.53 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 0.99. A value of 1 means Fast Food and Counter Workers has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is the same 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.

Fast Food and Counter Workers beside other roles in Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Western Wyoming 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 Fast Food and Counter Workers. 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.

The all-occupations job count is 101,180. 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 Fast Food and Counter Workers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.

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.

Roles with the largest local share in Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area

Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has the highest location quotient in the bounded Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area role table, at 3.29. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 0.99. 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 Fast Food and Counter Workers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.

What $26,100 may mean after the Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area price level

WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $26,100 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 Fast Food and Counter Workers 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.

How much care to use with the Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area row

The employment RSE for this Fast Food and Counter Workers row is 8.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.6%. 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 2,480 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $27,090 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.

Use Western Wyoming nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor

The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Fast Food and Counter Workers. It uses a Western Wyoming 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 $26,100 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 Fast Food and Counter Workers row for Western Wyoming 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 2,480 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.99 is not a growth score. Rank 96 of 137 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 35-3023 in BLS area 5600006. 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.
