Columbus, IN was 6.2% above the U.S. median for Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. It ranked 14 of 31 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median says in Columbus, IN
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median in Columbus, IN at $52,060 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 51-4022 and BLS area 18020.
BLS lists 140 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 $52,110 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Columbus, IN's Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median is 6.2% above the U.S. Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $49,030 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 51-4022 and area 18020. SOC 51-4022 names Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Area 18020 names Columbus, IN. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 51-4022/18020 row reports 140 wage and salary jobs, 2.89 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 50.32 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 51-4022/18020, the annual median is $52,060 per year, while the matching mean is $52,110 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.

Area 18020 reports 49,820 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $61,800. Its annual median is $48,470. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.1%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 51-4022 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Columbus, IN runs from $29,290 at the 10th percentile to $103,750 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,830. The median is $48,470. The 75th percentile is $72,880. This is a place check, not a pay range for Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.
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 18020. They do not show related skills or a path into Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.
1. Area 18020, SOC 51-2090, Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators: 2,980 jobs, $46,950 annual median, 59.83 jobs per 1,000, and 6.62 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Columbus, IN wage ladder for Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic
The 10th percentile is $39,410 per year. The 25th percentile is $49,130 per year. The median is $52,060 per year. The 75th percentile is $58,020 per year. The 90th percentile is $59,900 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 $49,130 per year to $58,020 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $20,490. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Columbus, IN has a annual median of $52,060 per year. Indiana has $53,550 per year. The U.S. row has $49,030 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Columbus, IN is 2.8% below Indiana on the same published median. Columbus, IN is 6.2% above 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 Columbus, IN sits for Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic
Columbus, IN ranks 14 of 31 among metro areas with a published annual median for Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 14 of 31 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.
11. Canton-Massillon, OH has a Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $55,430 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 4.12.
12. Erie, PA has a Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $55,250 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 6.59.
13. Richmond, VA has a Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $54,230 per year, 70 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.92.
Pay leaders
Where Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 51-4022, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA has the highest published median in this set, at $67,230 per year. Columbus, IN sits at $52,060 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA has a Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $67,230 per year, or $15,170 above Columbus, IN. BLS lists 40 jobs there, compared with 140 in Columbus, IN. The location quotient is 0.33.
2. Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD has a Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $63,880 per year, or $11,820 above Columbus, IN. BLS lists 190 jobs there, compared with 140 in Columbus, IN. The location quotient is 1.16.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has the largest published metro job estimate for Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic in this same-source set, at 510 jobs. Columbus, IN has 140. 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 510 estimated Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs, a gap of 370 jobs from Columbus, IN. Its median is $59,320 per year, or $7,260 above Columbus, IN. Its location quotient is 1.42.
2. Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI has 380 estimated Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs, a gap of 240 jobs from Columbus, IN. Its median is $61,980 per year, or $9,920 above Columbus, IN. Its location quotient is 3.48.
Local-share leaders
Where Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic takes the largest share of local jobs
Columbus, IN has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 50.32. Columbus, IN has 50.32. 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 Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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. Columbus, IN has a location quotient of 50.32, a gap of 0.00 from Columbus, IN. BLS lists 140 Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs and a median of $52,060 per year, or $0 above Columbus, IN.
2. Kingsport-Bristol, TN-VA has a location quotient of 12.23, a gap of 38.09 from Columbus, IN. BLS lists 80 Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs and a median of $40,990 per year, or $11,070 below Columbus, IN.
Job scale and share
How common Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic is in Columbus, IN
BLS lists 140 Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs in Columbus, IN. It also lists 2.89 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 50.32. A value of 1 means Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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.
Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic beside other roles in Columbus, IN
The all-occupations median in Columbus, IN is $48,470 per year. The Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median is $52,060 per year. Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic is 7.4% 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 Columbus, IN. 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 Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. 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. Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers, SOC 51-9061, has a Columbus, IN median of $49,030 per year. BLS lists 900 jobs and a location quotient of 4.7.
2. Computer Numerically Controlled Tool Operators, SOC 51-9161, has a Columbus, IN median of $48,590 per year. BLS lists 610 jobs and a location quotient of 11.26.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Columbus, IN
Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Columbus, IN table, at 2,980 jobs. Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has 140 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 49,820. 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 Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has 2,980 jobs in Columbus, IN, a gap of 2,840 from Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Its median is $46,950 per year, or $5,110 below Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Its location quotient is 6.62.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Columbus, IN
Mechanical Engineers has the highest published median in the bounded Columbus, IN role table, at $127,700 per year. Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has $52,060 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,470 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. Mechanical Engineers has a median of $127,700 per year in Columbus, IN, or $75,640 above Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. BLS lists 1,000 jobs, compared with 140 for Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Its location quotient is 10.52.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $112,760 per year in Columbus, IN, or $60,700 above Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. BLS lists 590 jobs, compared with 140 for Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Its location quotient is 0.52.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Columbus, IN
Machinists has the highest location quotient in the bounded Columbus, IN role table, at 15.95. Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has 50.32. 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 Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Machinists has a location quotient of 15.95 in Columbus, IN, a gap of 34.37 from Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. BLS lists 1,470 jobs and a median of $61,230 per year, or $9,170 above Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.
2. Computer Numerically Controlled Tool Operators has a location quotient of 11.26 in Columbus, IN, a gap of 39.06 from Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.

Price-level view
What $52,060 may mean after the Columbus, IN price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Columbus, IN is 93.0. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.0% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $52,060 Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median by 93.0 divided by 100. The result is $55,977 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 75.5. Goods are 94.3. Utilities are 86.6. Other services are 99.1. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic row is 13.6%. 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 140 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $52,110 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 Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. It uses a Columbus, IN 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 $52,060 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 Forging Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic row for Columbus, IN 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 140 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 50.32 is not a growth score. Rank 14 of 31 is not a place score. The 93.0 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-4022 in BLS area 18020. 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 140 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.
