Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA was 1.3% below the U.S. median for Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders. It ranked 41 of 86 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders median says in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders median in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA at $41,070 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 51-3093 and BLS area 31080.
BLS lists Not published 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 $43,570 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA's Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders median is 1.3% below the U.S. Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders median of $41,590 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.

Like-for-like rank
Where Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA sits for Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA ranks 41 of 86 among metro areas with a published annual median for Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 41 of 86 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.

Pay leaders
Where Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 51-3093, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Cedar Rapids, IA has the highest published median in this set, at $63,690 per year. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA sits at $41,070 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders 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. Cedar Rapids, IA has a Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders median of $63,690 per year, or $22,620 above Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. BLS lists 40 jobs there, compared with Not published in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. The location quotient is 1.32.
2. Modesto, CA has a Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders median of $59,010 per year, or $17,940 above Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. BLS lists 140 jobs there, compared with Not published in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. The location quotient is 3.51.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders jobs
Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has the largest published metro job estimate for Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders in this same-source set, at 1,900 jobs. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has Not published. 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. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has 1,900 estimated Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders jobs, a gap of not available jobs from Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. Its median is $44,280 per year, or $3,210 above Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. Its location quotient is 2.09.
2. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 880 estimated Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders jobs, a gap of not available jobs from Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. Its median is $41,590 per year, or $520 above Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. Its location quotient is 0.46.
Local-share leaders
Where Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders takes the largest share of local jobs
Florence, SC has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 14.46. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has Not published. 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 Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders 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. Florence, SC has a location quotient of 14.46, a gap of not available from Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. BLS lists 260 Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders jobs and a median of $38,220 per year, or $2,850 below Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA.

Job scale and share
How common Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders is in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA
BLS lists Not published Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders jobs in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. It also lists Not published 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 Not published. A value of 1 means Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is not available for a share check. 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

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. 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 Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders. 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.

Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders has Not published 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 6,271,560. 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 Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.

Published role medians around Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA role table, at $160,920 per year. Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders has $41,070 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $55,850 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. Software Developers has a median of $160,920 per year in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA, or $119,850 above Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders. BLS lists 55,540 jobs, compared with Not published for Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders. Its location quotient is 0.82.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA
Home Health and Personal Care Aides has the highest location quotient in the bounded Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA role table, at 2.22. Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders has Not published. 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 Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has a location quotient of 2.22 in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA, a gap of not available from Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders. BLS lists 385,530 jobs and a median of $34,320 per year, or $6,750 below Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders.

Price-level view
What $41,070 may mean after the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA is 113.6. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 13.6% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $41,070 Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders median by 113.6 divided by 100. The result is $36,164 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 170.4. Goods are 106.6. Utilities are 158.6. Other services are 104.4. 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 Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA row
The employment RSE for this Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders row is Not published. The mean-wage RSE is 2.2%. 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 Not published job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $43,570 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 Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders. It uses a Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA 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 $41,070 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 Food Cooking Machine Operators and Tenders row for Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA 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 Not published job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of Not published is not a growth score. Rank 41 of 86 is not a place score. The 113.6 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-3093 in BLS area 31080. 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.
