WageScope divides the published Floral Designers 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 27-1023 and BLS area 45.
Questions, answered
Floral Designers pay in South Carolina: common questions
What is the median wage for Floral Designers in South Carolina?

What the Floral Designers median says in South Carolina
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Floral Designers median in South Carolina at $32,000 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 27-1023 and BLS area 45.
BLS lists 500 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 $34,090 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
South Carolina's Floral Designers median is 14.3% below the U.S. Floral Designers median of $37,360 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 27-1023 and area 45. SOC 27-1023 names Floral Designers. Area 45 names South Carolina. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 27-1023/45 row reports 500 wage and salary jobs, 0.22 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.83 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 27-1023/45, the annual median is $32,000 per year, while the matching mean is $34,090 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 45 facts behind this Floral Designers page
Area 45 reports 2,305,080 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $59,280. Its annual median is $46,490. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 27-1023 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in South Carolina runs from $27,070 at the 10th percentile to $103,010 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $34,630. The median is $46,490. The 75th percentile is $70,340. This is a place check, not a pay range for Floral Designers.
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 45. They do not show related skills or a path into Floral Designers.
1. Area 45, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 67,310 jobs, $30,690 annual median, 29.2 jobs per 1,000, and 1.16 location quotient.
2. Area 45, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 65,070 jobs, $27,520 annual median, 28.23 jobs per 1,000, and 1.14 location quotient.
3. Area 45, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 56,700 jobs, $37,530 annual median, 24.6 jobs per 1,000, and 1.3 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the South Carolina wage ladder for Floral Designers
The 10th percentile is $21,330 per year. The 25th percentile is $27,470 per year. The median is $32,000 per year. The 75th percentile is $39,520 per year. The 90th percentile is $46,520 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 $27,470 per year to $39,520 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $25,190. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare South Carolina with its state and the U.S.
South Carolina has a annual median of $32,000 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $37,360 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for South Carolina. South Carolina is 14.3% 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 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.
South Carolina ranks 45 of 52 among states and territories with a published annual median for Floral Designers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 45 of 52 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.
42. Montana has a Floral Designers median of $34,100 per year, 290 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.16.
43. South Dakota has a Floral Designers median of $33,910 per year, 190 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.63.
44. New Mexico has a Floral Designers median of $33,870 per year, 170 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.75.
46. Kansas has a Floral Designers median of $31,190 per year, 490 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.3.
Pay leaders
Where Floral Designers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 27-1023, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Alaska has the highest published median in this set, at $48,130 per year. South Carolina sits at $32,000 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Floral Designers 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. Alaska has a Floral Designers median of $48,130 per year, or $16,130 above South Carolina. BLS lists 80 jobs there, compared with 500 in South Carolina. The location quotient is 0.91.
2. California has a Floral Designers median of $47,040 per year, or $15,040 above South Carolina. BLS lists 4,080 jobs there, compared with 500 in South Carolina. The location quotient is 0.86.
3. Massachusetts has a Floral Designers median of $46,460 per year, or $14,460 above South Carolina. BLS lists 870 jobs there, compared with 500 in South Carolina. The location quotient is 0.92.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Floral Designers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Floral Designers in this same-source set, at 4,080 jobs. South Carolina has 500. 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. California has 4,080 estimated Floral Designers jobs, a gap of 3,580 jobs from South Carolina. Its median is $47,040 per year, or $15,040 above South Carolina. Its location quotient is 0.86.
2. Texas has 3,100 estimated Floral Designers jobs, a gap of 2,600 jobs from South Carolina. Its median is $35,080 per year, or $3,080 above South Carolina. Its location quotient is 0.84.
3. Florida has 2,600 estimated Floral Designers jobs, a gap of 2,100 jobs from South Carolina. Its median is $36,770 per year, or $4,770 above South Carolina. Its location quotient is 1.
Local-share leaders
Where Floral Designers takes the largest share of local jobs
Hawaii has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.33. South Carolina has 0.83. 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 Floral Designers 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. Hawaii has a location quotient of 2.33, a gap of 1.50 from South Carolina. BLS lists 380 Floral Designers jobs and a median of $46,170 per year, or $14,170 above South Carolina.
2. Rhode Island has a location quotient of 2.33, a gap of 1.50 from South Carolina. BLS lists 310 Floral Designers jobs and a median of $36,420 per year, or $4,420 above South Carolina.
3. Montana has a location quotient of 2.16, a gap of 1.33 from South Carolina. BLS lists 290 Floral Designers jobs and a median of $34,100 per year, or $2,100 above South Carolina.
Job scale and share
How common Floral Designers is in South Carolina
BLS lists 500 Floral Designers jobs in South Carolina. It also lists 0.22 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 0.83. A value of 1 means Floral Designers 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.
Floral Designers beside other roles in South Carolina
The all-occupations median in South Carolina is $46,490 per year. The Floral Designers median is $32,000 per year. Floral Designers is 31.2% 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 South Carolina. 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 Floral Designers. 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. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners, SOC 37-2011, has a South Carolina median of $31,180 per year. BLS lists 30,100 jobs and a location quotient of 0.92.
2. Retail Salespersons, SOC 41-2031, has a South Carolina median of $30,690 per year. BLS lists 67,310 jobs and a location quotient of 1.16.
3. Home Health and Personal Care Aides, SOC 31-1120, has a South Carolina median of $30,110 per year. BLS lists 40,750 jobs and a location quotient of 0.64.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in South Carolina
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded South Carolina table, at 67,310 jobs. Floral Designers has 500 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 2,305,080. 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 Floral Designers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 67,310 jobs in South Carolina, a gap of 66,810 from Floral Designers. Its median is $30,690 per year, or $1,310 below Floral Designers. Its location quotient is 1.16.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 65,070 jobs in South Carolina, a gap of 64,570 from Floral Designers. Its median is $27,520 per year, or $4,480 below Floral Designers. Its location quotient is 1.14.
3. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 56,700 jobs in South Carolina, a gap of 56,200 from Floral Designers. Its median is $37,530 per year, or $5,530 above Floral Designers. Its location quotient is 1.3.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around South Carolina
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded South Carolina role table, at $106,080 per year. Floral Designers has $32,000 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,490 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 $106,080 per year in South Carolina, or $74,080 above Floral Designers. BLS lists 32,230 jobs, compared with 500 for Floral Designers. Its location quotient is 0.62.
2. Project Management Specialists has a median of $95,040 per year in South Carolina, or $63,040 above Floral Designers. BLS lists 17,040 jobs, compared with 500 for Floral Designers. Its location quotient is 1.08.
3. Registered Nurses has a median of $82,360 per year in South Carolina, or $50,360 above Floral Designers. BLS lists 49,750 jobs, compared with 500 for Floral Designers. Its location quotient is 0.99.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in South Carolina
Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has the highest location quotient in the bounded South Carolina role table, at 2.02. Floral Designers has 0.83. 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 Floral Designers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 2.02 in South Carolina, a gap of 1.19 from Floral Designers. BLS lists 42,150 jobs and a median of $45,500 per year, or $13,500 above Floral Designers.
2. Waiters and Waitresses has a location quotient of 1.4 in South Carolina, a gap of 0.57 from Floral Designers. BLS lists 47,200 jobs and a median of $18,370 per year, or $13,630 below Floral Designers.
3. Customer Service Representatives has a location quotient of 1.33 in South Carolina, a gap of 0.50 from Floral Designers. BLS lists 51,000 jobs and a median of $38,860 per year, or $6,860 above Floral Designers.
Price-level view
What $32,000 may mean after the South Carolina price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for South Carolina is 93.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 6.3% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $32,000 Floral Designers median by 93.7 divided by 100. The result is $34,134 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 80.5. Goods are 96.3. Utilities are 88.3. Other services are 98.3. 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 Floral Designers row is 7.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 5%. 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 500 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $34,090 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 Floral Designers. It uses a South Carolina 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. Job cards can change without changing this guide. They do not count toward the 1,500-word content floor. A listing range does not replace the $32,000 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 Floral Designers row for South Carolina 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 500 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.83 is not a growth score. Rank 45 of 52 is not a place score. The 93.7 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 27-1023 in BLS area 45. 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 500 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.
