What the First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median says in Portland-South Portland, ME
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median in Portland-South Portland, ME at $49,880 per year.

BLS lists 1,770 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 $52,490 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Portland-South Portland, ME's First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median is 13.2% above the U.S. First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median of $44,080 on the same published median.

Portland-South Portland, ME has a annual median of $49,880 per year. Maine has $47,990 per year. The U.S. row has $44,080 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Portland-South Portland, ME is 3.9% above Maine on the same published median. Portland-South Portland, ME is 13.2% above 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Portland-South Portland, ME sits for First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers
Portland-South Portland, ME ranks 26 of 393 among metro 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 26 of 393 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.
23. Napa, CA has a First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median of $51,320 per year, 700 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.15.
24. Waterbury-Shelton, CT has a First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median of $51,220 per year, 1,020 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.81.

Pay leaders
Where First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 35-1012, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA has the highest published median in this set, at $61,610 per year. Portland-South Portland, ME sits at $49,880 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 care marks, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA has a First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median of $61,610 per year, or $11,730 above Portland-South Portland, ME. BLS lists 12,090 jobs there, compared with 1,770 in Portland-South Portland, ME. The location quotient is 0.74.
2. Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA has a First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median of $58,740 per year, or $8,860 above Portland-South Portland, ME. BLS lists 610 jobs there, compared with 1,770 in Portland-South Portland, ME. The location quotient is 0.83.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers in this same-source set, at 61,060 jobs. Portland-South Portland, ME has 1,770. 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 61,060 estimated First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers jobs, a gap of 59,290 jobs from Portland-South Portland, ME. Its median is $48,690 per year, or $1,190 below Portland-South Portland, ME. Its location quotient is 0.82.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 41,640 estimated First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers jobs, a gap of 39,870 jobs from Portland-South Portland, ME. Its median is $46,970 per year, or $2,910 below Portland-South Portland, ME. Its location quotient is 0.84.
Local-share leaders
Where First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers takes the largest share of local jobs
Myrtle Beach-Conway-North Myrtle Beach, SC has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 1.9. Portland-South Portland, ME has 0.78. 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. Myrtle Beach-Conway-North Myrtle Beach, SC has a location quotient of 1.9, a gap of 1.12 from Portland-South Portland, ME. BLS lists 2,190 First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers jobs and a median of $39,080 per year, or $10,800 below Portland-South Portland, ME.

Job scale and share
How common First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers is in Portland-South Portland, ME
BLS lists 1,770 First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers jobs in Portland-South Portland, ME. It also lists 6.15 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 0.78. 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 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.
Local job mix
First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers beside other roles in Portland-South Portland, ME
The all-occupations median in Portland-South Portland, ME is $56,960 per year. The First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median is $49,880 per year.

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Portland-South Portland, ME. 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.

First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers has 1,770 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 288,480. 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 8,510 jobs in Portland-South Portland, ME, a gap of 6,740 from First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers. Its median is $37,320 per year, or $12,560 below First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers. Its location quotient is 1.18.

Published role medians around Portland-South Portland, ME
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Portland-South Portland, ME role table, at $105,390 per year. First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers has $49,880 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $56,960 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 $105,390 per year in Portland-South Portland, ME, or $55,510 above First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers. BLS lists 7,160 jobs, compared with 1,770 for First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers. Its location quotient is 1.1.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $88,470 per year in Portland-South Portland, ME, or $38,590 above First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Portland-South Portland, ME
Childcare Workers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Portland-South Portland, ME role table, at 2.56. First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers has 0.78. 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. Childcare Workers has a location quotient of 2.56 in Portland-South Portland, ME, a gap of 1.78 from First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers. BLS lists 2,460 jobs and a median of $36,620 per year, or $13,260 below First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers.

Price-level view
What $49,880 may mean after the Portland-South Portland, ME price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Portland-South Portland, ME is 101.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 1.9% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $49,880 First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers median by 101.9 divided by 100. The result is $48,970 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 105.2. Goods are 97.2. Utilities are 134.6. Other services are 103.2. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the Portland-South Portland, ME row
The employment RSE for this First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers row is 8.2%. 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 1,770 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $52,490 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 Portland-South Portland, ME 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 Portland-South Portland, ME 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 $49,880 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 Portland-South Portland, ME 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 1,770 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.78 is not a growth score. Rank 26 of 393 is not a place score. The 101.9 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 38860. 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.
