The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median in North Arkansas nonmetropolitan area at $30,660 per year.

The middle half runs from $28,390 per year to $36,340 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $17,320. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.

Compare North Arkansas nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.

North Arkansas nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $30,660 per year. Arkansas has $33,800 per year. The U.S. row has $44,080 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.

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 North Arkansas nonmetropolitan area sits for First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers

North Arkansas nonmetropolitan area ranks 128 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 128 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 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. North Arkansas nonmetropolitan area sits at $30,660 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.

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.

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.

The location quotient is 1.15. 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.

Roles with the largest local share in North Arkansas nonmetropolitan area

Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses has the highest location quotient in the bounded North Arkansas nonmetropolitan area role table, at 2.77. First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers has 1.15. 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.

What $30,660 may mean after the North Arkansas nonmetropolitan area price level

WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for North Arkansas nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $30,660 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.

How much care to use with the North Arkansas nonmetropolitan area row

The employment RSE for this First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers row is 6.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.6%. 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 1,080 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $33,460 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 North Arkansas 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 North Arkansas 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 $30,660 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 First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers row for North Arkansas 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 1,080 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.15 is not a growth score. Rank 128 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 0500001. 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.
