What the Food Service Managers median says in South Carolina
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Food Service Managers median in South Carolina at $66,190 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 11-9051 and BLS area 45.
BLS lists 5,080 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 $72,690 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
South Carolina's Food Service Managers median is 4.6% below the U.S. Food Service Managers median of $69,390 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 11-9051 and area 45. SOC 11-9051 names Food Service Managers. Area 45 names South Carolina. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 11-9051/45 row reports 5,080 wage and salary jobs, 2.21 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.44 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 11-9051/45, the annual median is $66,190 per year, while the matching mean is $72,690 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
11-9051/45 10th percentile: $47,130 per year.
11-9051/45 25th percentile: $54,910 per year.

11-9051/45 75th percentile: $83,830 per year.
11-9051/45 90th percentile: $103,680 per year.
11-9051/45 employment RSE: 8%. Mean-wage RSE: 3%.

BLS area 45 facts behind this Food Service Managers page
Area 45 reports 2,305,080 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $59,280. Its annual median is $46,490. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 11-9051 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in South Carolina runs from $27,070 at the 10th percentile to $103,010 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $34,630. The median is $46,490. The 75th percentile is $70,340. This is a place check, not a pay range for Food Service Managers.
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 45. They do not show related skills or a path into Food Service Managers.
1. Area 45, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 67,310 jobs, $30,690 annual median, 29.2 jobs per 1,000, and 1.16 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the South Carolina wage ladder for Food Service Managers
The 10th percentile is $47,130 per year. The 25th percentile is $54,910 per year. The median is $66,190 per year. The 75th percentile is $83,830 per year. The 90th percentile is $103,680 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 $54,910 per year to $83,830 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $56,550. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare South Carolina with its state and the U.S.
South Carolina has a annual median of $66,190 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $69,390 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for South Carolina. South Carolina is 4.6% 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 South Carolina sits for Food Service Managers
South Carolina ranks 31 of 54 among states and territories with a published annual median for Food Service Managers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 31 of 54 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.
28. Idaho has a Food Service Managers median of $70,140 per year, 670 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.51.
29. Utah has a Food Service Managers median of $69,480 per year, 2,400 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.9.
30. Iowa has a Food Service Managers median of $66,700 per year, 1,760 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.73.
32. Missouri has a Food Service Managers median of $65,520 per year, 1,600 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.36.
Pay leaders
Where Food Service Managers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 11-9051, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Washington has the highest published median in this set, at $95,190 per year. South Carolina sits at $66,190 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 Service Managers 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. Washington has a Food Service Managers median of $95,190 per year, or $29,000 above South Carolina. BLS lists 1,180 jobs there, compared with 5,080 in South Carolina. The location quotient is 0.22.
2. Massachusetts has a Food Service Managers median of $92,240 per year, or $26,050 above South Carolina. BLS lists 4,310 jobs there, compared with 5,080 in South Carolina. The location quotient is 0.77.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Food Service Managers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Food Service Managers in this same-source set, at 33,180 jobs. South Carolina has 5,080. 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 33,180 estimated Food Service Managers jobs, a gap of 28,100 jobs from South Carolina. Its median is $78,260 per year, or $12,070 above South Carolina. Its location quotient is 1.19.
2. Texas has 25,990 estimated Food Service Managers jobs, a gap of 20,910 jobs from South Carolina. Its median is $60,770 per year, or $5,420 below South Carolina. Its location quotient is 1.2.
Local-share leaders
Where Food Service Managers takes the largest share of local jobs
Virgin Islands (territory) has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.83. South Carolina has 1.44. 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 Service Managers 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. Virgin Islands (territory) has a location quotient of 2.83, a gap of 1.39 from South Carolina. BLS lists 140 Food Service Managers jobs and a median of $80,570 per year, or $14,380 above South Carolina.
2. South Dakota has a location quotient of 1.82, a gap of 0.38 from South Carolina. BLS lists 1,270 Food Service Managers jobs and a median of $60,640 per year, or $5,550 below South Carolina.
3. Nevada has a location quotient of 1.81, a gap of 0.37 from South Carolina. BLS lists 4,310 Food Service Managers jobs and a median of $65,320 per year, or $870 below South Carolina.
Job scale and share
How common Food Service Managers is in South Carolina
BLS lists 5,080 Food Service Managers jobs in South Carolina. It also lists 2.21 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 1.44. A value of 1 means Food Service Managers 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 Service Managers beside other roles in South Carolina
The all-occupations median in South Carolina is $46,490 per year. The Food Service Managers median is $66,190 per year. Food Service Managers is 42.4% above 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 South Carolina. 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 Service Managers. 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. Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Except Technical and Scientific Products, SOC 41-4012, has a South Carolina median of $64,250 per year. BLS lists 22,010 jobs and a location quotient of 1.2.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers, SOC 43-1011, has a South Carolina median of $62,920 per year. BLS lists 26,710 jobs and a location quotient of 1.25.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in South Carolina
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded South Carolina table, at 67,310 jobs. Food Service Managers has 5,080 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 2,305,080. 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 Service Managers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 67,310 jobs in South Carolina, a gap of 62,230 from Food Service Managers. Its median is $30,690 per year, or $35,500 below Food Service Managers. Its location quotient is 1.16.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 65,070 jobs in South Carolina, a gap of 59,990 from Food Service Managers. Its median is $27,520 per year, or $38,670 below Food Service Managers. Its location quotient is 1.14.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around South Carolina
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded South Carolina role table, at $106,080 per year. Food Service Managers has $66,190 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,490 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. General and Operations Managers has a median of $106,080 per year in South Carolina, or $39,890 above Food Service Managers. BLS lists 32,230 jobs, compared with 5,080 for Food Service Managers. Its location quotient is 0.62.
2. Project Management Specialists has a median of $95,040 per year in South Carolina, or $28,850 above Food Service Managers. BLS lists 17,040 jobs, compared with 5,080 for Food Service Managers. Its location quotient is 1.08.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in South Carolina
Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has the highest location quotient in the bounded South Carolina role table, at 2.02. Food Service Managers has 1.44. 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 Service Managers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 2.02 in South Carolina, a gap of 0.58 from Food Service Managers. BLS lists 42,150 jobs and a median of $45,500 per year, or $20,690 below Food Service Managers.
2. Waiters and Waitresses has a location quotient of 1.4 in South Carolina, a gap of 0.04 from Food Service Managers. BLS lists 47,200 jobs and a median of $18,370 per year, or $47,820 below Food Service Managers.
Price-level view
What $66,190 may mean after the South Carolina price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for South Carolina is 93.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 6.3% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $66,190 Food Service Managers median by 93.7 divided by 100. The result is $70,603 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 80.5. Goods are 96.3. Utilities are 88.3. Other services are 98.3. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Food Service Managers row is 8%. The mean-wage RSE is 3%. 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 5,080 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $72,690 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 Service Managers. It uses a South Carolina 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 $66,190 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 Service Managers row for South Carolina 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 5,080 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.44 is not a growth score. Rank 31 of 54 is not a place score. The 93.7 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 11-9051 in BLS area 45. 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 5,080 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.
