What the Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand median says in Montana
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand median in Montana at $50,460 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 51-9022 and BLS area 30.
BLS lists Not published 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 $48,910 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Montana's Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand median is 18.3% above the U.S. Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand median of $42,660 on the same published median.

This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 51-9022 and area 30. SOC 51-9022 names Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand. Area 30 names Montana. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 51-9022/30 row reports Not published wage and salary jobs, Not published jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a Not published location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 51-9022/30, the annual median is $50,460 per year, while the matching mean is $48,910 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.

Read the Montana wage ladder for Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand
The 10th percentile is $44,060 per year. The 25th percentile is $47,700 per year. The median is $50,460 per year. The 75th percentile is $50,700 per year. The 90th percentile is $50,700 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 $47,700 per year to $50,700 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $6,640. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Montana has a annual median of $50,460 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $42,660 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Montana. Montana is 18.3% 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 Montana sits for Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand
Montana ranks 4 of 40 among states and territories with a published annual median for Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 4 of 40 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.
1. Vermont has a Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand median of $56,850 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.54.
2. Minnesota has a Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand median of $51,930 per year, 120 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.62.
3. Rhode Island has a Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand median of $51,630 per year, 130 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 3.71.

Pay leaders
Where Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 51-9022, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Vermont has the highest published median in this set, at $56,850 per year. Montana sits at $50,460 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand 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. Vermont has a Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand median of $56,850 per year, or $6,390 above Montana. BLS lists 50 jobs there, compared with Not published in Montana. The location quotient is 2.54.

Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand in this same-source set, at 1,850 jobs. Montana has Not published. 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 1,850 estimated Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand jobs, a gap of not available jobs from Montana. Its median is $44,450 per year, or $6,010 below Montana. Its location quotient is 1.5.
2. Texas has 840 estimated Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand jobs, a gap of not available jobs from Montana. Its median is $38,170 per year, or $12,290 below Montana. Its location quotient is 0.88.
Local-share leaders
Where Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand takes the largest share of local jobs
Rhode Island has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 3.71. Montana has Not published. 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 Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand 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. Rhode Island has a location quotient of 3.71, a gap of not available from Montana. BLS lists 130 Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand jobs and a median of $51,630 per year, or $1,170 above Montana.

Job scale and share
How common Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand is in Montana
BLS lists Not published Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand jobs in Montana. It also lists Not published 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 Not published. A value of 1 means Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is not available for a share check. 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.
Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand beside other roles in Montana
The all-occupations median in Montana is $48,740 per year. The Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand median is $50,460 per year. Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand is 3.5% 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 Montana. 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 Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand. 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 all-occupations job count is 511,580. 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 Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 14,960 jobs in Montana, a gap of not available from Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand. Its median is $29,090 per year, or $21,370 below Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand. Its location quotient is 1.18.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around Montana
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Montana role table, at $91,380 per year. Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand has $50,460 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,740 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 $91,380 per year in Montana, or $40,920 above Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand. BLS lists 11,840 jobs, compared with Not published for Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand. Its location quotient is 1.03.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Montana
Bartenders has the highest location quotient in the bounded Montana role table, at 2.16. Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand has Not published. 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 Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Bartenders has a location quotient of 2.16 in Montana, a gap of not available from Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand. BLS lists 5,370 jobs and a median of $26,010 per year, or $24,450 below Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand.

Price-level view
What $50,460 may mean after the Montana price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Montana is 94.6. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 5.4% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $50,460 Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand median by 94.6 divided by 100. The result is $53,315 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 84.6. Goods are 96.0. Utilities are 72.3. Other services are 98.7. 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 Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand row is Not published. The mean-wage RSE is 4.8%. 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 Not published job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $48,910 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 Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand. It uses a Montana 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. Job cards can change without changing this guide. They do not count toward the 1,500-word content floor. A listing range does not replace the $50,460 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 Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand row for Montana 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 Not published job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of Not published is not a growth score. Rank 4 of 40 is not a place score. The 94.6 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-9022 in BLS area 30. 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 Not published 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.
