General and Operations Managers in Kansas: wage guide
Use the local pay range, same-source pay figures, job scale, price level, and survey limits as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 11-1021 and BLS area 20.
What the General and Operations Managers median says in Kansas
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the General and Operations Managers median in Kansas at $92,840 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 11-1021 and BLS area 20.
BLS lists 24,660 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 $114,720 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Kansas's General and Operations Managers median is 12.2% below the U.S. General and Operations Managers median of $105,770 on the same published median. Both values use the same job code and source date. They do not account for prices, taxes, benefits, hours, or your work history.
Read source key 11-1021 with area 20
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 11-1021 and area 20. SOC 11-1021 names General and Operations Managers. Area 20 names Kansas. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 11-1021/20 row has 24,660 wage and salary jobs. There are 17.16 for each 1,000 local jobs. The location quotient is 0.76. Each value stays under the same job and area codes.
For 11-1021/20, the annual median is $92,840 per year, while the matching mean is $114,720 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
- 11-1021/20 10th percentile: $51,780 per year.
- 11-1021/20 25th percentile: $65,350 per year.
- 11-1021/20 median: $92,840 per year.
- 11-1021/20 75th percentile: $139,410 per year.
- 11-1021/20 90th percentile: $212,700 per year.
- 11-1021/20 employment RSE: 2.5%. Mean-wage RSE: 1.4%.
- 11-1021/20 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.
BLS area 20 facts behind this General and Operations Managers 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 11-1021 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 General and Operations 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 20. They do not show related skills or a path into General and Operations Managers.

Read the Kansas wage ladder for General and Operations Managers
The 10th percentile is $51,780 per year. The 25th percentile is $65,350 per year. The median is $92,840 per year. The 75th percentile is $139,410 per year. The 90th percentile is $212,700 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 $65,350 per year to $139,410 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $160,920. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Kansas with its state and the U.S.
Kansas has a annual median of $92,840 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $105,770 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Kansas. Kansas is 12.2% 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 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 Kansas sits for General and Operations Managers
Kansas ranks 42 of 54 among states and territories with a published annual median for General and Operations 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 42 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.
- 39. Utah. The General and Operations Managers median is $97,850 per year. BLS estimates 42,580 jobs. The location quotient is 1.09.
- 40. Ohio. The General and Operations Managers median is $97,700 per year. BLS estimates 153,160 jobs. The location quotient is 1.22.

Where General and Operations Managers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 11-1021, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. New Jersey has the highest published median in this set, at $173,690 per year. Kansas sits at $92,840 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common General and Operations 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 limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
- 1. New Jersey has a General and Operations Managers median of $173,690 per year, or $80,850 above Kansas. BLS lists 53,000 jobs there, compared with 24,660 in Kansas. The location quotient is 0.55.

Where BLS counts the most General and Operations Managers jobs
Texas has the largest published state job estimate for General and Operations Managers in this same-source set, at 431,310 jobs. Kansas has 24,660. 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. Texas has 431,310 estimated General and Operations Managers jobs, a gap of 406,650 jobs from Kansas. Its median is $103,230 per year, or $10,390 above Kansas. Its location quotient is 1.36.

How common General and Operations Managers is in Kansas
BLS lists 24,660 General and Operations Managers jobs in Kansas. It also lists 17.16 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 0.76. A value of 1 means General and Operations Managers 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.
General and Operations Managers beside other roles in Kansas
The all-occupations median in Kansas is $48,010 per year. The General and Operations Managers median is $92,840 per year. General and Operations Managers is 93.4% 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 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 General and Operations 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.

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. General and Operations Managers has 24,660 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 General and Operations Managers'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 22,480 from General and Operations Managers. Its median is $27,580 per year, or $65,260 below General and Operations Managers. Its location quotient is 1.32.

Published role medians around Kansas
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Kansas role table, at $113,420 per year. General and Operations Managers has $92,840 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 $20,580 above General and Operations Managers. BLS lists 13,580 jobs, compared with 24,660 for General and Operations Managers. Its location quotient is 0.87.

What $92,840 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 $92,840 General and Operations Managers median by 90.1 divided by 100. The result is $103,078 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.
How much care to use with the Kansas row
The employment RSE for this General and Operations Managers row is 2.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.4%. 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 24,660 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $114,720 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 Kansas wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to General and Operations Managers. 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 $92,840 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 General and Operations Managers 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 24,660 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.76 is not a growth score. Rank 42 of 54 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 11-1021 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.
