What the First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median says in Maryland nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median in Maryland nonmetropolitan area at $43,060 per year.

BLS lists 1,140 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 $46,030 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

Compare Maryland nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Maryland nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $43,060 per year. Maryland has $42,450 per year. The U.S. row has $44,080 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Maryland nonmetropolitan area is 1.4% above Maryland on the same published median. Maryland nonmetropolitan area is 2.3% 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Maryland nonmetropolitan area sits for First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers
Maryland nonmetropolitan area ranks 32 of 137 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving 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 32 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.
29. Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area. The First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median is $44,150 per year. BLS estimates 1,620 jobs. The location quotient is 1.07.
30. Southwest New York nonmetropolitan area. The First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median is $44,060 per year. BLS estimates 1,460 jobs. The location quotient is 1.04.

Pay leaders
Where First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 35-1012, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Eastern Washington nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $56,800 per year. Maryland nonmetropolitan area sits at $43,060 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving 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.
1. Eastern Washington nonmetropolitan area has a First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median of $56,800 per year, or $13,740 above Maryland nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 700 jobs there, compared with 1,140 in Maryland nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.82.
2. Western Washington nonmetropolitan area has a First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median of $55,950 per year, or $12,890 above Maryland nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 930 jobs there, compared with 1,140 in Maryland nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.91.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers jobs
North Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers in this same-source set, at 3,400 jobs. Maryland nonmetropolitan area has 1,140. 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. North Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has 3,400 estimated First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers jobs, a gap of 2,260 jobs from Maryland nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $34,040 per year, or $9,020 below Maryland nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.57.
2. Kansas nonmetropolitan area has 2,890 estimated First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers jobs, a gap of 1,750 jobs from Maryland nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $36,710 per year, or $6,350 below Maryland nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 0.98.
Local-share leaders
Where First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers takes the largest share of local jobs
South Florida nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 1.8. Maryland nonmetropolitan area has 1.28. 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 First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving 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.
1. South Florida nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 1.8, a gap of 0.52 from Maryland nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 1,240 First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers jobs and a median of $45,930 per year, or $2,870 above Maryland nonmetropolitan area.
2. East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 1.69, a gap of 0.41 from Maryland nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 1,870 First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers jobs and a median of $38,450 per year, or $4,610 below Maryland nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers is in Maryland nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 1,140 First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers jobs in Maryland nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 10.05 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 1.28. A value of 1 means First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers 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.
Local job mix
First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers beside other roles in Maryland nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Maryland nonmetropolitan area is $46,120 per year. The First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median is $43,060 per year.

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Maryland 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 First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving 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.
1. Office Clerks, General, SOC 43-9061, has a Maryland nonmetropolitan area median of $43,920 per year. BLS lists 1,460 jobs and a location quotient of 0.81.

The largest detailed roles in Maryland nonmetropolitan area
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Maryland nonmetropolitan area table, at 3,920 jobs. First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers has 1,140 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 113,180. 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 First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 3,920 jobs in Maryland nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 2,780 from First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers. Its median is $34,290 per year, or $8,770 below First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers. Its location quotient is 1.38.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around Maryland nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Maryland nonmetropolitan area role table, at $87,360 per year. First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers has $43,060 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,120 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 $87,360 per year in Maryland nonmetropolitan area, or $44,300 above First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers. BLS lists 3,700 jobs, compared with 1,140 for First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers. Its location quotient is 1.45.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $85,700 per year in Maryland nonmetropolitan area, or $42,640 above First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Maryland nonmetropolitan area
Food Processing Workers, All Other has the highest location quotient in the bounded Maryland nonmetropolitan area role table, at 23.4. First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers has 1.28. 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 First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Food Processing Workers, All Other has a location quotient of 23.4 in Maryland nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 22.12 from First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers. BLS lists 1,110 jobs and a median of $35,870 per year, or $7,190 below First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers.

Price-level view
What $43,060 may mean after the Maryland nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Maryland nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $43,060 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 First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving 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.
Data care
How much care to use with the Maryland nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers row is 6.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.4%. 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 1,140 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $46,030 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.
Job and résumé path
Use Maryland nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers. It uses a Maryland 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 $43,060 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.
Limits
What the First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers row for Maryland 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 1,140 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.28 is not a growth score. Rank 32 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 35-1012 in BLS area 2400006. 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.
How many First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers jobs does BLS estimate in Maryland nonmetropolitan area?
BLS estimates 1,140 wage and salary jobs for this row. This is a survey estimate. It does not count open jobs or predict future hiring.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. We show job posts in a separate list. Each has its own source and check date. Posted pay does not change the BLS pay data.
