WageScope divides the published File Clerks 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 43-4071 and BLS area 39740.

Reading, PA was 4.6% below the U.S. median for File Clerks. It ranked 133 of 252 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 File Clerks median in Reading, PA at $41,610 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 43-4071 and BLS area 39740.
BLS lists 70 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 $40,950 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Reading, PA's File Clerks median is 4.6% below the U.S. File Clerks median of $43,600 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 43-4071 and area 39740. SOC 43-4071 names File Clerks. Area 39740 names Reading, PA. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 43-4071/39740 row reports 70 wage and salary jobs, 0.38 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.8 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 43-4071/39740, the annual median is $41,610 per year, while the matching mean is $40,950 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 39740 reports 174,670 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $60,950. Its annual median is $49,440. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.4%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 43-4071 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Reading, PA runs from $28,850 at the 10th percentile to $100,750 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,940. The median is $49,440. The 75th percentile is $70,720. This is a place check, not a pay range for File Clerks.
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 39740. They do not show related skills or a path into File Clerks.
1. Area 39740, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 5,820 jobs, $29,830 annual median, 33.32 jobs per 1,000, and 1.2 location quotient.
2. Area 39740, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 5,280 jobs, $46,040 annual median, 30.2 jobs per 1,000, and 1.59 location quotient.
3. Area 39740, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 4,430 jobs, $33,010 annual median, 25.34 jobs per 1,000, and 1.01 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Reading, PA wage ladder for File Clerks
The 10th percentile is $29,490 per year. The 25th percentile is $35,360 per year. The median is $41,610 per year. The 75th percentile is $46,260 per year. The 90th percentile is $53,000 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 $35,360 per year to $46,260 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $23,510. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Reading, PA has a annual median of $41,610 per year. Pennsylvania has $42,920 per year. The U.S. row has $43,600 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Reading, PA is 3.1% below Pennsylvania on the same published median. Reading, PA is 4.6% 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 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.
Reading, PA ranks 133 of 252 among metro areas with a published annual median for File Clerks. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 133 of 252 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.
130. Lakeland-Winter Haven, FL has a File Clerks median of $41,720 per year, 90 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.7.
131. Lawton, OK has a File Clerks median of $41,710 per year, 60 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.91.
132. Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach, FL has a File Clerks median of $41,700 per year, 140 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.31.
134. Rochester, NY has a File Clerks median of $41,600 per year, 100 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.43.
Pay leaders
Where File Clerks medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 43-4071, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has the highest published median in this set, at $60,840 per year. Reading, PA sits at $41,610 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common File Clerks 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. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a File Clerks median of $60,840 per year, or $19,230 above Reading, PA. BLS lists 540 jobs there, compared with 70 in Reading, PA. The location quotient is 1.01.
2. Santa Cruz-Watsonville, CA has a File Clerks median of $60,530 per year, or $18,920 above Reading, PA. BLS lists 60 jobs there, compared with 70 in Reading, PA. The location quotient is 1.38.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most File Clerks jobs
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has the largest published metro job estimate for File Clerks in this same-source set, at 3,930 jobs. Reading, PA has 70. 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. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 3,930 estimated File Clerks jobs, a gap of 3,860 jobs from Reading, PA. Its median is $48,450 per year, or $6,840 above Reading, PA. Its location quotient is 1.33.
2. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 3,260 estimated File Clerks jobs, a gap of 3,190 jobs from Reading, PA. Its median is $44,710 per year, or $3,100 above Reading, PA. Its location quotient is 0.73.
Local-share leaders
Where File Clerks takes the largest share of local jobs
Laredo, TX has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 4.57. Reading, PA has 0.8. 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 File Clerks 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. Laredo, TX has a location quotient of 4.57, a gap of 3.77 from Reading, PA. BLS lists 240 File Clerks jobs and a median of $34,270 per year, or $7,340 below Reading, PA.
2. Eagle Pass, TX has a location quotient of 4.16, a gap of 3.36 from Reading, PA. BLS lists 40 File Clerks jobs and a median of $35,770 per year, or $5,840 below Reading, PA.
3. Lawton, OK has a location quotient of 2.91, a gap of 2.11 from Reading, PA. BLS lists 60 File Clerks jobs and a median of $41,710 per year, or $100 above Reading, PA.
Job scale and share
How common File Clerks is in Reading, PA
BLS lists 70 File Clerks jobs in Reading, PA. It also lists 0.38 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 0.8. A value of 1 means File Clerks 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 Reading, PA is $49,440 per year. The File Clerks median is $41,610 per year. File Clerks is 15.8% below 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 Reading, PA. 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 File Clerks. 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. Light Truck Drivers, SOC 53-3033, has a Reading, PA median of $42,080 per year. BLS lists 1,250 jobs and a location quotient of 1.13.
2. Customer Service Representatives, SOC 43-4051, has a Reading, PA median of $44,500 per year. BLS lists 2,630 jobs and a location quotient of 0.9.
3. Stockers and Order Fillers, SOC 53-7065, has a Reading, PA median of $37,990 per year. BLS lists 4,190 jobs and a location quotient of 1.31.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Reading, PA
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Reading, PA table, at 5,820 jobs. File Clerks has 70 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 174,670. 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 File Clerks's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 5,820 jobs in Reading, PA, a gap of 5,750 from File Clerks. Its median is $29,830 per year, or $11,780 below File Clerks. Its location quotient is 1.2.
2. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 5,280 jobs in Reading, PA, a gap of 5,210 from File Clerks. Its median is $46,040 per year, or $4,430 above File Clerks. Its location quotient is 1.59.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Reading, PA
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Reading, PA role table, at $99,920 per year. File Clerks has $41,610 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $49,440 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 $99,920 per year in Reading, PA, or $58,310 above File Clerks. BLS lists 4,290 jobs, compared with 70 for File Clerks. Its location quotient is 1.09.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $98,470 per year in Reading, PA, or $56,860 above File Clerks. BLS lists 3,430 jobs, compared with 70 for File Clerks. Its location quotient is 0.9.
3. Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education has a median of $80,250 per year in Reading, PA, or $38,640 above File Clerks. BLS lists 1,350 jobs, compared with 70 for File Clerks. Its location quotient is 1.13.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Reading, PA
Production Workers, All Other has the highest location quotient in the bounded Reading, PA role table, at 5.63. File Clerks has 0.8. 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 File Clerks with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Production Workers, All Other has a location quotient of 5.63 in Reading, PA, a gap of 4.83 from File Clerks. BLS lists 1,590 jobs and a median of Not published, or not available.
2. Industrial Machinery Mechanics has a location quotient of 2.76 in Reading, PA, a gap of 1.96 from File Clerks. BLS lists 1,360 jobs and a median of $65,620 per year, or $24,010 above File Clerks.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Production and Operating Workers has a location quotient of 2.5 in Reading, PA, a gap of 1.70 from File Clerks. BLS lists 1,890 jobs and a median of $78,200 per year, or $36,590 above File Clerks.
Price-level view
What $41,610 may mean after the Reading, PA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Reading, PA is 97.1. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 2.9% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $41,610 File Clerks median by 97.1 divided by 100. The result is $42,870 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 85.4. Goods are 100.7. Utilities are 108.2. Other services are 97.7. 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 File Clerks row is 12.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.9%. 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 70 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $40,950 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 File Clerks. It uses a Reading, PA 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 $41,610 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 File Clerks row for Reading, PA 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 70 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.8 is not a growth score. Rank 133 of 252 is not a place score. The 97.1 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 43-4071 in BLS area 39740. 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.
