What the Food Processing Workers, All Other median says in Morristown, TN

The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Food Processing Workers, All Other median in Morristown, TN at $46,320 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 51-3099 and BLS area 34100.

BLS lists 380 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 $44,180 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

The state and U.S. rows are benchmarks, 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 Morristown, TN sits for Food Processing Workers, All Other

Morristown, TN ranks 13 of 150 among metro areas with a published annual median for Food Processing 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 13 of 150 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.

Where Food Processing Workers, All Other medians lead among metro areas

The rows below use the same SOC 51-3099, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Rochester, MN has the highest published median in this set, at $62,330 per year. Morristown, TN sits at $46,320 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 Processing 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 limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.

Where BLS counts the most Food Processing Workers, All Other jobs

Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has the largest published metro job estimate for Food Processing Workers, All Other in this same-source set, at 2,530 jobs. Morristown, TN has 380. 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.

Use this list to ask where Food Processing 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.

How common Food Processing Workers, All Other is in Morristown, TN

BLS lists 380 Food Processing Workers, All Other jobs in Morristown, TN. It also lists 8.04 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 all-occupations job count is 47,290. 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.

What $46,320 may mean after the Morristown, TN price level

BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Morristown, TN is 86.4. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 13.6% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.

WageScope divides the $46,320 Food Processing Workers, All Other median by 86.4 divided by 100. The result is $53,633 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 59.0. Goods are 96.2. Utilities are 72.4. Other services are 95.1. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.

How much care to use with the Morristown, TN row

The employment RSE for this Food Processing Workers, All Other row is 0.2%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. 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 380 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $44,180 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.

Use Morristown, TN wage data before you tailor

The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Food Processing Workers, All Other. It uses a Morristown, TN 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 $46,320 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 Processing Workers, All Other row for Morristown, TN 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 380 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 19.23 is not a growth score. Rank 13 of 150 is not a place score. The 86.4 price index is not a personal budget.

Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-3099 in BLS area 34100. 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.
