Where Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AR sits for Food Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other
Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AR ranks 113 of 171 among metro areas with a published annual median for Food Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 113 of 171 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.

Pay leaders
Where Food Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other medians lead among metro areas

A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Food Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other 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. Salem, OR has a Food Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other median of $49,900 per year, or $19,120 above Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AR. BLS lists 40 jobs there, compared with 90 in Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AR. The location quotient is 0.4.

Where BLS counts the most Food Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other jobs
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has the largest published metro job estimate for Food Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other in this same-source set, at 14,270 jobs. Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AR has 90. 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. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 14,270 estimated Food Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other jobs, a gap of 14,180 jobs from Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AR.

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 Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other 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.

BLS lists 90 Food Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other jobs in Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AR. It also lists 0.25 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 0.45. A value of 1 means Food Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other 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.

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AR. They are close by wage, not by task.

Use the list to spot the local wage mix around Food Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other. 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.

The all-occupations job count is 358,210. 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 Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.

Food Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other has $30,780 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $45,790 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.

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 Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.

Price-level view
What $30,780 may mean after the Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AR price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AR is 89.4. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 10.6% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $30,780 Food Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other median by 89.4 divided by 100. The result is $34,443 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 68.3. Goods are 93.6. Utilities are 74.6. Other services are 95.3. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AR row
The employment RSE for this Food Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other row is 27.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 10.1%. 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 90 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $33,200 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 Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AR wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Food Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other. It uses a Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AR 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 $30,780 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 Preparation and Serving Related Workers, All Other row for Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AR 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 90 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.45 is not a growth score. Rank 113 of 171 is not a place score. The 89.4 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 35-9099 in BLS area 30780. 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.
