Laredo, TX was 21.3% below the U.S. median for Food Preparation Workers. It ranked 341 of 393 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Food Preparation Workers median says in Laredo, TX
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Food Preparation Workers median in Laredo, TX at $27,780 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 35-2021 and BLS area 29700.
BLS lists 700 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 $29,370 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Laredo, TX's Food Preparation Workers median is 21.3% below the U.S. Food Preparation Workers median of $35,320 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 35-2021 and area 29700. SOC 35-2021 names Food Preparation Workers. Area 29700 names Laredo, TX. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 35-2021/29700 row reports 700 wage and salary jobs, 6.41 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.11 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 35-2021/29700, the annual median is $27,780 per year, while the matching mean is $29,370 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 29700 facts behind this Food Preparation Workers page
Area 29700 reports 109,370 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $48,200. Its annual median is $37,250. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.7%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 35-2021 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Laredo, TX runs from $22,360 at the 10th percentile to $87,220 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $27,290. The median is $37,250. The 75th percentile is $59,560. This is a place check, not a pay range for Food Preparation Workers.
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 29700. They do not show related skills or a path into Food Preparation Workers.
1. Area 29700, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 8,140 jobs, $23,510 annual median, 74.38 jobs per 1,000, and 2.69 location quotient.
2. Area 29700, SOC 53-3032, Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers: 5,460 jobs, $49,010 annual median, 49.89 jobs per 1,000, and 3.76 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Laredo, TX wage ladder for Food Preparation Workers
The 10th percentile is $20,630 per year. The 25th percentile is $22,690 per year. The median is $27,780 per year. The 75th percentile is $36,680 per year. The 90th percentile is $38,620 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 $22,690 per year to $36,680 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $17,990. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Laredo, TX has a annual median of $27,780 per year. Texas has $30,650 per year. The U.S. row has $35,320 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Laredo, TX is 9.4% below Texas on the same published median. Laredo, TX is 21.3% 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.
Where Laredo, TX sits for Food Preparation Workers
Laredo, TX ranks 341 of 393 among metro areas with a published annual median for Food Preparation 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 341 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.
338. Jacksonville, NC has a Food Preparation Workers median of $27,900 per year, 280 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.92.
339. Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AR has a Food Preparation Workers median of $27,880 per year, 1,840 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.9.
340. Muncie, IN has a Food Preparation Workers median of $27,860 per year, 280 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.09.
342. Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton, NC has a Food Preparation Workers median of $27,680 per year, 750 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.85.
Pay leaders
Where Food Preparation Workers medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 35-2021, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has the highest published median in this set, at $46,680 per year. Laredo, TX sits at $27,780 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 Preparation 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. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has a Food Preparation Workers median of $46,680 per year, or $18,900 above Laredo, TX. BLS lists 720 jobs there, compared with 700 in Laredo, TX. The location quotient is 1.7.
2. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a Food Preparation Workers median of $45,580 per year, or $17,800 above Laredo, TX. BLS lists 5,930 jobs there, compared with 700 in Laredo, TX. The location quotient is 0.91.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Food Preparation Workers jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Food Preparation Workers in this same-source set, at 63,530 jobs. Laredo, TX has 700. 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 63,530 estimated Food Preparation Workers jobs, a gap of 62,830 jobs from Laredo, TX. Its median is $35,670 per year, or $7,890 above Laredo, TX. Its location quotient is 1.16.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 44,930 estimated Food Preparation Workers jobs, a gap of 44,230 jobs from Laredo, TX. Its median is $39,770 per year, or $11,990 above Laredo, TX. Its location quotient is 1.25.
Local-share leaders
Where Food Preparation Workers takes the largest share of local jobs
Slidell-Mandeville-Covington, LA has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 3.68. Laredo, TX has 1.11. 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 Preparation 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. Slidell-Mandeville-Covington, LA has a location quotient of 3.68, a gap of 2.57 from Laredo, TX. BLS lists 2,070 Food Preparation Workers jobs and a median of $24,380 per year, or $3,400 below Laredo, TX.
2. Lake Charles, LA has a location quotient of 3.32, a gap of 2.21 from Laredo, TX. BLS lists 1,940 Food Preparation Workers jobs and a median of $23,380 per year, or $4,400 below Laredo, TX.
3. Monroe, LA has a location quotient of 3.25, a gap of 2.14 from Laredo, TX. BLS lists 1,630 Food Preparation Workers jobs and a median of $22,430 per year, or $5,350 below Laredo, TX.
Job scale and share
How common Food Preparation Workers is in Laredo, TX
BLS lists 700 Food Preparation Workers jobs in Laredo, TX. It also lists 6.41 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 1.11. A value of 1 means Food Preparation 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.
Food Preparation Workers beside other roles in Laredo, TX
The all-occupations median in Laredo, TX is $37,250 per year. The Food Preparation Workers median is $27,780 per year. Food Preparation Workers is 25.4% 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 Laredo, TX. 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 Preparation 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.
1. Retail Salespersons, SOC 41-2031, has a Laredo, TX median of $27,530 per year. BLS lists 3,240 jobs and a location quotient of 1.18.
2. Cooks, Restaurant, SOC 35-2014, has a Laredo, TX median of $28,120 per year. BLS lists 1,060 jobs and a location quotient of 1.07.
3. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners, SOC 37-2011, has a Laredo, TX median of $28,500 per year. BLS lists 1,620 jobs and a location quotient of 1.04.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Laredo, TX
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Laredo, TX table, at 8,140 jobs. Food Preparation Workers has 700 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 109,370. 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 Workers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 8,140 jobs in Laredo, TX, a gap of 7,440 from Food Preparation Workers. Its median is $23,510 per year, or $4,270 below Food Preparation Workers. Its location quotient is 2.69.
2. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has 5,460 jobs in Laredo, TX, a gap of 4,760 from Food Preparation Workers. Its median is $49,010 per year, or $21,230 above Food Preparation Workers. Its location quotient is 3.76.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Laredo, TX
Compliance Officers has the highest published median in the bounded Laredo, TX role table, at $98,180 per year. Food Preparation Workers has $27,780 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $37,250 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. Compliance Officers has a median of $98,180 per year in Laredo, TX, or $70,400 above Food Preparation Workers. BLS lists 1,440 jobs, compared with 700 for Food Preparation Workers. Its location quotient is 4.9.
2. Detectives and Criminal Investigators has a median of $98,180 per year in Laredo, TX, or $70,400 above Food Preparation Workers. BLS lists 1,410 jobs, compared with 700 for Food Preparation Workers. Its location quotient is 17.46.
3. General and Operations Managers has a median of $78,640 per year in Laredo, TX, or $50,860 above Food Preparation Workers. BLS lists 2,780 jobs, compared with 700 for Food Preparation Workers. Its location quotient is 1.13.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Laredo, TX
Detectives and Criminal Investigators has the highest location quotient in the bounded Laredo, TX role table, at 17.46. Food Preparation Workers has 1.11. 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 Preparation Workers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Detectives and Criminal Investigators has a location quotient of 17.46 in Laredo, TX, a gap of 16.35 from Food Preparation Workers. BLS lists 1,410 jobs and a median of $98,180 per year, or $70,400 above Food Preparation Workers.
2. Dispatchers, Except Police, Fire, and Ambulance has a location quotient of 6.37 in Laredo, TX, a gap of 5.26 from Food Preparation Workers. BLS lists 910 jobs and a median of $38,140 per year, or $10,360 above Food Preparation Workers.
Price-level view
What $27,780 may mean after the Laredo, TX price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Laredo, TX is 87.0. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 13.0% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $27,780 Food Preparation Workers median by 87.0 divided by 100. The result is $31,947 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 59.7. Goods are 93.8. Utilities are 80.6. Other services are 96.2. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Food Preparation Workers row is 10.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.4%. 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 700 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $29,370 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 Food Preparation Workers. It uses a Laredo, TX 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 $27,780 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.
What the Food Preparation Workers row for Laredo, TX 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 700 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.11 is not a growth score. Rank 341 of 393 is not a place score. The 87.0 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 35-2021 in BLS area 29700. 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 700 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.
