East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area was 2.1% below the U.S. median for Firefighters. It ranked 22 of 128 nonmetro 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 East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Firefighters median in East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area at $58,010 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 33-2011 and BLS area 1700003.
BLS lists 240 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 $62,820 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area's Firefighters median is 2.1% 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 1700003. SOC 33-2011 names Firefighters. Area 1700003 names East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 33-2011/1700003 row reports 240 wage and salary jobs, 1.66 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.74 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 33-2011/1700003, the annual median is $58,010 per year, while the matching mean is $62,820 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
33-2011/1700003 10th percentile: $38,540 per year.
33-2011/1700003 25th percentile: $47,090 per year.
33-2011/1700003 median: $58,010 per year.
33-2011/1700003 75th percentile: $78,010 per year.
33-2011/1700003 90th percentile: $92,860 per year.
BLS area 1700003 facts behind this Firefighters page

The all-jobs wage ladder in East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area runs from $31,200 at the 10th percentile to $97,310 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,820. The median is $46,570. The 75th percentile is $64,330. 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 1700003. They do not show related skills or a path into Firefighters.
1. Area 1700003, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 4,640 jobs, $31,200 annual median, 32.46 jobs per 1,000, and 1.63 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area wage ladder for Firefighters
The 10th percentile is $38,540 per year. The 25th percentile is $47,090 per year. The median is $58,010 per year. The 75th percentile is $78,010 per year. The 90th percentile is $92,860 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 $47,090 per year to $78,010 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $54,320. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $58,010 per year. Illinois has $78,380 per year. The U.S. row has $59,280 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area is 26.0% below Illinois on the same published median. East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area is 2.1% 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.
Where East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area sits for Firefighters
East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area ranks 22 of 128 among nonmetro 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 22 of 128 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.
19. West Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area has a Firefighters median of $58,530 per year, 490 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.29.
20. Northwest Colorado nonmetropolitan area has a Firefighters median of $58,440 per year, 410 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.38.
21. West North Dakota nonmetropolitan area has a Firefighters median of $58,030 per year, 180 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.94.
23. Central Indiana nonmetropolitan area has a Firefighters median of $57,320 per year, 450 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.26.
Pay leaders
Where Firefighters medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 33-2011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Central East New York nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $75,750 per year. East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area sits at $58,010 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common 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. Central East New York nonmetropolitan area has a Firefighters median of $75,750 per year, or $17,740 above East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 190 jobs there, compared with 240 in East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.55.
2. Connecticut nonmetropolitan area has a Firefighters median of $71,450 per year, or $13,440 above East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 60 jobs there, compared with 240 in East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.42.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Firefighters jobs
Kansas nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Firefighters in this same-source set, at 1,110 jobs. East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area has 240. 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. Kansas nonmetropolitan area has 1,110 estimated Firefighters jobs, a gap of 870 jobs from East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $37,810 per year, or $20,200 below East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.34.
2. Eastern North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has 1,050 estimated Firefighters jobs, a gap of 810 jobs from East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $37,510 per year, or $20,500 below East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.78.
Local-share leaders
Where Firefighters takes the largest share of local jobs
North Valley-Northern Mountains Region of California nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 4.37. East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area has 0.74. 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. North Valley-Northern Mountains Region of California nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 4.37, a gap of 3.63 from East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 1,020 Firefighters jobs and a median of $62,660 per year, or $4,650 above East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area.
2. North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 2.96, a gap of 2.22 from East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 720 Firefighters jobs and a median of $62,660 per year, or $4,650 above East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Firefighters is in East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 240 Firefighters jobs in East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 1.66 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 0.74. A value of 1 means Firefighters 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.
Firefighters beside other roles in East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area is $46,570 per year. The Firefighters median is $58,010 per year. Firefighters is 24.6% 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 East Central Illinois 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 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. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers, SOC 53-3032, has a East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area median of $57,760 per year. BLS lists 3,070 jobs and a location quotient of 1.62.
2. Elementary School Teachers, Except Special Education, SOC 25-2021, has a East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area median of $57,390 per year. BLS lists 1,740 jobs and a location quotient of 1.36.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area
Cashiers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area table, at 4,640 jobs. Firefighters has 240 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 143,050. 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. Cashiers has 4,640 jobs in East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 4,400 from Firefighters. Its median is $31,200 per year, or $26,810 below Firefighters. Its location quotient is 1.63.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 4,590 jobs in East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 4,350 from Firefighters. Its median is $31,200 per year, or $26,810 below Firefighters. Its location quotient is 1.29.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area role table, at $84,990 per year. Firefighters has $58,010 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,570 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 $84,990 per year in East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area, or $26,980 above Firefighters. BLS lists 3,310 jobs, compared with 240 for Firefighters. Its location quotient is 1.03.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $83,230 per year in East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area, or $25,220 above Firefighters. BLS lists 3,600 jobs, compared with 240 for Firefighters. Its location quotient is 1.16.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area
Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical Assemblers, Except Coil Winders, Tapers, and Finishers has the highest location quotient in the bounded East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area role table, at 6.76. Firefighters has 0.74. 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. Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical Assemblers, Except Coil Winders, Tapers, and Finishers has a location quotient of 6.76 in East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 6.02 from Firefighters. BLS lists 1,540 jobs and a median of $45,910 per year, or $12,100 below Firefighters.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 2.48 in East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1.74 from Firefighters. BLS lists 3,200 jobs and a median of $42,770 per year, or $15,240 below Firefighters.
Price-level view
What $58,010 may mean after the East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $58,010 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 Firefighters 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 East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Firefighters row is 23.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 4.2%. 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 240 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $62,820 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 East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Firefighters. It uses a East Central Illinois 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 $58,010 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 Firefighters row for East Central Illinois 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 240 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.74 is not a growth score. Rank 22 of 128 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 33-2011 in BLS area 1700003. 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 240 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.
