WageScope divides the published Food Science Technicians 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 19-4013 and BLS area 20.
Questions, answered
Food Science Technicians pay in Kansas: common questions
What is the median wage for Food Science Technicians in Kansas?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $39,930 per year for Food Science Technicians in Kansas. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Food Science Technicians pay higher in Kansas than nationally?
Kansas's published median was 23.4% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Kansas?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 90.1 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

What the Food Science Technicians median says in Kansas
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Food Science Technicians median in Kansas at $39,930 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 19-4013 and BLS area 20.
BLS lists 60 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 $47,360 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Kansas's Food Science Technicians median is 23.4% below the U.S. Food Science Technicians median of $52,130 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 19-4013 and area 20. SOC 19-4013 names Food Science Technicians. Area 20 names Kansas. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 19-4013/20 row reports 60 wage and salary jobs, 0.04 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.41 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 19-4013/20, the annual median is $39,930 per year, while the matching mean is $47,360 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 20 facts behind this Food Science Technicians page
Area 20 reports 1,437,520 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $60,640. Its annual median is $48,010. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 19-4013 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Kansas runs from $28,530 at the 10th percentile to $103,250 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,880. The median is $48,010. The 75th percentile is $72,280. This is a place check, not a pay range for Food Science Technicians.
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 20. They do not show related skills or a path into Food Science Technicians.
1. Area 20, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 47,140 jobs, $27,580 annual median, 32.8 jobs per 1,000, and 1.32 location quotient.
2. Area 20, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 33,800 jobs, $79,320 annual median, 23.51 jobs per 1,000, and 1.08 location quotient.
3. Area 20, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 33,360 jobs, $32,180 annual median, 23.21 jobs per 1,000, and 0.93 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Kansas wage ladder for Food Science Technicians
The 10th percentile is $33,390 per year. The 25th percentile is $36,900 per year. The median is $39,930 per year. The 75th percentile is $65,040 per year. The 90th percentile is $71,320 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 $36,900 per year to $65,040 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $37,930. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Kansas has a annual median of $39,930 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $52,130 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Kansas. Kansas is 23.4% 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.
Kansas ranks 37 of 39 among states and territories with a published annual median for Food Science Technicians. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 37 of 39 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.
34. Indiana has a Food Science Technicians median of $44,630 per year, 530 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.78.
35. Louisiana has a Food Science Technicians median of $44,310 per year, 30 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.17.
36. Alabama has a Food Science Technicians median of $40,940 per year, 30 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.16.
38. South Carolina has a Food Science Technicians median of $39,480 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.19.
Pay leaders
Where Food Science Technicians medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 19-4013, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Virginia has the highest published median in this set, at $65,360 per year. Kansas sits at $39,930 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 Science Technicians 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. Virginia has a Food Science Technicians median of $65,360 per year, or $25,430 above Kansas. BLS lists 150 jobs there, compared with 60 in Kansas. The location quotient is 0.39.
2. Kentucky has a Food Science Technicians median of $64,770 per year, or $24,840 above Kansas. BLS lists 160 jobs there, compared with 60 in Kansas. The location quotient is 0.87.
3. Washington has a Food Science Technicians median of $62,070 per year, or $22,140 above Kansas. BLS lists 660 jobs there, compared with 60 in Kansas. The location quotient is 1.98.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Food Science Technicians jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Food Science Technicians in this same-source set, at 3,990 jobs. Kansas has 60. 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 3,990 estimated Food Science Technicians jobs, a gap of 3,930 jobs from Kansas. Its median is $54,200 per year, or $14,270 above Kansas. Its location quotient is 2.34.
2. Texas has 900 estimated Food Science Technicians jobs, a gap of 840 jobs from Kansas. Its median is $47,760 per year, or $7,830 above Kansas. Its location quotient is 0.68.
3. Oregon has 820 estimated Food Science Technicians jobs, a gap of 760 jobs from Kansas. Its median is $50,590 per year, or $10,660 above Kansas. Its location quotient is 4.45.
Local-share leaders
Where Food Science Technicians takes the largest share of local jobs
Idaho has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 7. Kansas has 0.41. 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 Science Technicians 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. Idaho has a location quotient of 7, a gap of 6.59 from Kansas. BLS lists 560 Food Science Technicians jobs and a median of $48,980 per year, or $9,050 above Kansas.
2. Oregon has a location quotient of 4.45, a gap of 4.04 from Kansas. BLS lists 820 Food Science Technicians jobs and a median of $50,590 per year, or $10,660 above Kansas.
3. Iowa has a location quotient of 2.86, a gap of 2.45 from Kansas. BLS lists 420 Food Science Technicians jobs and a median of $50,740 per year, or $10,810 above Kansas.
Job scale and share
How common Food Science Technicians is in Kansas
BLS lists 60 Food Science Technicians jobs in Kansas. It also lists 0.04 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 location quotient is 0.41. A value of 1 means Food Science Technicians 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.
Food Science Technicians beside other roles in Kansas
The all-occupations median in Kansas is $48,010 per year. The Food Science Technicians median is $39,930 per year. Food Science Technicians is 16.8% 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 Kansas. 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 Science Technicians. 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. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand, SOC 53-7062, has a Kansas median of $40,250 per year. BLS lists 23,270 jobs and a location quotient of 0.85.
2. Customer Service Representatives, SOC 43-4051, has a Kansas median of $40,320 per year. BLS lists 29,200 jobs and a location quotient of 1.22.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers, SOC 35-1012, has a Kansas median of $38,220 per year. BLS lists 10,520 jobs and a location quotient of 0.93.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Kansas
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Kansas table, at 47,140 jobs. Food Science Technicians has 60 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 1,437,520. 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 Science Technicians's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 47,140 jobs in Kansas, a gap of 47,080 from Food Science Technicians. Its median is $27,580 per year, or $12,350 below Food Science Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.32.
2. Registered Nurses has 33,800 jobs in Kansas, a gap of 33,740 from Food Science Technicians. Its median is $79,320 per year, or $39,390 above Food Science Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.08.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Kansas
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Kansas role table, at $113,420 per year. Food Science Technicians has $39,930 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,010 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 $113,420 per year in Kansas, or $73,490 above Food Science Technicians. BLS lists 13,580 jobs, compared with 60 for Food Science Technicians. Its location quotient is 0.87.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $92,840 per year in Kansas, or $52,910 above Food Science Technicians. BLS lists 24,660 jobs, compared with 60 for Food Science Technicians. Its location quotient is 0.76.
3. Business Operations Specialists, All Other has a median of $83,350 per year in Kansas, or $43,420 above Food Science Technicians. BLS lists 9,810 jobs, compared with 60 for Food Science Technicians. Its location quotient is 0.98.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Kansas
Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has the highest location quotient in the bounded Kansas role table, at 2.04. Food Science Technicians has 0.41. 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 Science Technicians with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has a location quotient of 2.04 in Kansas, a gap of 1.63 from Food Science Technicians. BLS lists 32,120 jobs and a median of $42,270 per year, or $2,340 above Food Science Technicians.
2. Packers and Packagers, Hand has a location quotient of 1.91 in Kansas, a gap of 1.50 from Food Science Technicians. BLS lists 9,900 jobs and a median of $44,460 per year, or $4,530 above Food Science Technicians.
Price-level view
What $39,930 may mean after the Kansas price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Kansas is 90.1. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 9.9% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $39,930 Food Science Technicians median by 90.1 divided by 100. The result is $44,333 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 71.2. Goods are 94.0. Utilities are 88.4. Other services are 93.8. 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 Science Technicians row is 32.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 10.9%. 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 60 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $47,360 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 Science Technicians. It uses a Kansas 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 $39,930 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 Science Technicians row for Kansas 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 60 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.41 is not a growth score. Rank 37 of 39 is not a place score. The 90.1 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 19-4013 in BLS area 20. 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 60 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.
