WageScope divides the published Firefighters 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 33-2011 and BLS area 14020.

1.1%
Bloomington, IN was 36.5% below the U.S. median for Firefighters. It ranked 301 of 347 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Firefighters median says in Bloomington, IN
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Firefighters median in Bloomington, IN at $37,620 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 33-2011 and BLS area 14020.
BLS lists 230 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 $41,040 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Bloomington, IN's Firefighters median is 36.5% below the U.S. Firefighters median of $59,280 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 33-2011 and area 14020. SOC 33-2011 names Firefighters. Area 14020 names Bloomington, IN. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 33-2011/14020 row reports 230 wage and salary jobs, 3.15 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.42 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 33-2011/14020, the annual median is $37,620 per year, while the matching mean is $41,040 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 14020 facts behind this Firefighters page
Area 14020 reports 73,240 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $60,980. Its annual median is $47,660. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.6%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 33-2011 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Bloomington, IN runs from $28,570 at the 10th percentile to $104,000 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,900. The median is $47,660. The 75th percentile is $73,020. This is a place check, not a pay range for Firefighters.
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 14020. They do not show related skills or a path into Firefighters.
1. Area 14020, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 2,390 jobs, $28,230 annual median, 32.68 jobs per 1,000, and 1.32 location quotient.
2. Area 14020, SOC 51-2090, Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators: 2,270 jobs, $37,900 annual median, 30.99 jobs per 1,000, and 3.43 location quotient.
3. Area 14020, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 1,980 jobs, $30,890 annual median, 26.97 jobs per 1,000, and 1.08 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Bloomington, IN wage ladder for Firefighters
The 10th percentile is $25,710 per year. The 25th percentile is $25,710 per year. The median is $37,620 per year. The 75th percentile is $50,990 per year. The 90th percentile is $60,140 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 $25,710 per year to $50,990 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $34,430. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Bloomington, IN with its state and the U.S.
Bloomington, IN has a annual median of $37,620 per year. Indiana has $62,780 per year. The U.S. row has $59,280 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Bloomington, IN is 40.1% below Indiana on the same published median. Bloomington, IN is 36.5% 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.
Bloomington, IN ranks 301 of 347 among metro areas with a published annual median for Firefighters. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 301 of 347 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.
298. Durham-Chapel Hill, NC has a Firefighters median of $38,350 per year, 1,220 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.59.
299. St. Joseph, MO-KS has a Firefighters median of $38,220 per year, 130 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.09.
300. Alexandria, LA has a Firefighters median of $38,010 per year, 290 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.14.
302. Shreveport-Bossier City, LA has a Firefighters median of $37,620 per year, 700 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.94.
Pay leaders
Where Firefighters medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 33-2011, 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 $152,100 per year. Bloomington, IN sits at $37,620 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Firefighters 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 Firefighters median of $152,100 per year, or $114,480 above Bloomington, IN. BLS lists 1,330 jobs there, compared with 230 in Bloomington, IN. The location quotient is 0.53.
2. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA has a Firefighters median of $113,700 per year, or $76,080 above Bloomington, IN. BLS lists 3,450 jobs there, compared with 230 in Bloomington, IN. The location quotient is 0.65.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Firefighters jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Firefighters in this same-source set, at 14,960 jobs. Bloomington, IN has 230. 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-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 14,960 estimated Firefighters jobs, a gap of 14,730 jobs from Bloomington, IN. Its median is $106,420 per year, or $68,800 above Bloomington, IN. Its location quotient is 0.71.
2. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has 14,560 estimated Firefighters jobs, a gap of 14,330 jobs from Bloomington, IN. Its median is $82,820 per year, or $45,200 above Bloomington, IN. Its location quotient is 1.45.
Local-share leaders
Where Firefighters takes the largest share of local jobs
Lake Havasu City-Kingman, AZ has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 3.96. Bloomington, IN has 1.42. 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 Firefighters 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. Lake Havasu City-Kingman, AZ has a location quotient of 3.96, a gap of 2.54 from Bloomington, IN. BLS lists 500 Firefighters jobs and a median of $54,810 per year, or $17,190 above Bloomington, IN.
2. Hilton Head Island-Bluffton-Port Royal, SC has a location quotient of 3.5, a gap of 2.08 from Bloomington, IN. BLS lists 640 Firefighters jobs and a median of $50,210 per year, or $12,590 above Bloomington, IN.
3. Hinesville, GA has a location quotient of 3.22, a gap of 1.80 from Bloomington, IN. BLS lists 150 Firefighters jobs and a median of $49,210 per year, or $11,590 above Bloomington, IN.
Job scale and share
How common Firefighters is in Bloomington, IN
BLS lists 230 Firefighters jobs in Bloomington, IN. It also lists 3.15 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 1.42. A value of 1 means Firefighters 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.
Firefighters beside other roles in Bloomington, IN
The all-occupations median in Bloomington, IN is $47,660 per year. The Firefighters median is $37,620 per year. Firefighters is 21.1% 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 Bloomington, IN. 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 Firefighters. 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. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators, SOC 51-2090, has a Bloomington, IN median of $37,900 per year. BLS lists 2,270 jobs and a location quotient of 3.43.
2. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand, SOC 53-7062, has a Bloomington, IN median of $38,130 per year. BLS lists 1,020 jobs and a location quotient of 0.74.
3. Landscaping and Groundskeeping Workers, SOC 37-3011, has a Bloomington, IN median of $38,290 per year. BLS lists 530 jobs and a location quotient of 1.17.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Bloomington, IN
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Bloomington, IN table, at 2,390 jobs. Firefighters has 230 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 73,240. 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 Firefighters's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 2,390 jobs in Bloomington, IN, a gap of 2,160 from Firefighters. Its median is $28,230 per year, or $9,390 below Firefighters. Its location quotient is 1.32.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has 2,270 jobs in Bloomington, IN, a gap of 2,040 from Firefighters. Its median is $37,900 per year, or $280 above Firefighters. Its location quotient is 3.43.
3. Retail Salespersons has 1,980 jobs in Bloomington, IN, a gap of 1,750 from Firefighters. Its median is $30,890 per year, or $6,730 below Firefighters. Its location quotient is 1.08.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Bloomington, IN
Business Teachers, Postsecondary has the highest published median in the bounded Bloomington, IN role table, at $108,060 per year. Firefighters has $37,620 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,660 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. Business Teachers, Postsecondary has a median of $108,060 per year in Bloomington, IN, or $70,440 above Firefighters. BLS lists 510 jobs, compared with 230 for Firefighters. Its location quotient is 13.29.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $101,310 per year in Bloomington, IN, or $63,690 above Firefighters. BLS lists 820 jobs, compared with 230 for Firefighters. Its location quotient is 0.5.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Bloomington, IN
Business Teachers, Postsecondary has the highest location quotient in the bounded Bloomington, IN role table, at 13.29. Firefighters has 1.42. 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 Firefighters with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Business Teachers, Postsecondary has a location quotient of 13.29 in Bloomington, IN, a gap of 11.87 from Firefighters. BLS lists 510 jobs and a median of $108,060 per year, or $70,440 above Firefighters.
2. Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors has a location quotient of 4.13 in Bloomington, IN, a gap of 2.71 from Firefighters. BLS lists 960 jobs and a median of $52,710 per year, or $15,090 above Firefighters.
3. Machinists has a location quotient of 4.01 in Bloomington, IN, a gap of 2.59 from Firefighters. BLS lists 540 jobs and a median of $47,850 per year, or $10,230 above Firefighters.
Price-level view
What $37,620 may mean after the Bloomington, IN price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Bloomington, IN is 95.1. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 4.9% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $37,620 Firefighters median by 95.1 divided by 100. The result is $39,565 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 85.6. Goods are 94.3. Utilities are 86.5. Other services are 99.1. 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 Firefighters row is 21.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 9.1%. 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 230 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $41,040 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 Firefighters. It uses a Bloomington, IN 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 $37,620 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 Firefighters row for Bloomington, IN 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 230 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.42 is not a growth score. Rank 301 of 347 is not a place score. The 95.1 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 33-2011 in BLS area 14020. 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 230 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.
