What the Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median says in Florida
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median in Florida at $47,370 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 51-4191 and BLS area 12.
BLS lists 150 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 $48,560 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Florida's Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median is 2.8% below the U.S. Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $48,750 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.
Exact source record
Read source key 51-4191 with area 12
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 51-4191 and area 12. SOC 51-4191 names Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Area 12 names Florida. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 51-4191/12 row reports 150 wage and salary jobs, 0.02 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.17 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 51-4191/12, the annual median is $47,370 per year, while the matching mean is $48,560 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
51-4191/12 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.
Place source check
BLS area 12 facts behind this Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic page
Area 12 reports 9,929,860 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $64,670. Its annual median is $47,880. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 51-4191 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Florida runs from $30,010 at the 10th percentile to $114,550 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,290. The median is $47,880. The 75th percentile is $75,410. This is a place check, not a pay range for Heat Treating Equipment 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 12. They do not show related skills or a path into Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.
1. Area 12, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 333,460 jobs, $34,010 annual median, 33.58 jobs per 1,000, and 1.34 location quotient.
2. Area 12, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 236,290 jobs, $101,580 annual median, 23.8 jobs per 1,000, and 1.06 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Florida wage ladder for Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic
The 10th percentile is $38,480 per year. The 25th percentile is $39,850 per year. The median is $47,370 per year. The 75th percentile is $54,010 per year. The 90th percentile is $60,090 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 $39,850 per year to $54,010 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $21,610. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare Florida with its state and the U.S.
Florida has a annual median of $47,370 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $48,750 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Florida. Florida is 2.8% 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Florida sits for Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic
Florida ranks 23 of 37 among states and territories with a published annual median for Heat Treating Equipment 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 23 of 37 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.
20. Missouri has a Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $47,980 per year, 140 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.52.
21. Utah has a Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $47,860 per year, 90 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.59.
22. Kansas has a Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $47,500 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.39.
Pay leaders
Where Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 51-4191, 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 $61,990 per year. Florida sits at $47,370 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Heat Treating Equipment 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. Washington has a Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $61,990 per year, or $14,620 above Florida. BLS lists 140 jobs there, compared with 150 in Florida. The location quotient is 0.45.
2. Oregon has a Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $60,280 per year, or $12,910 above Florida. BLS lists 240 jobs there, compared with 150 in Florida. The location quotient is 1.34.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs
Pennsylvania has the largest published state job estimate for Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic in this same-source set, at 1,520 jobs. Florida has 150. 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. Pennsylvania has 1,520 estimated Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs, a gap of 1,370 jobs from Florida. Its median is $48,800 per year, or $1,430 above Florida. Its location quotient is 2.78.
2. Texas has 1,450 estimated Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs, a gap of 1,300 jobs from Florida. Its median is $41,690 per year, or $5,680 below Florida. Its location quotient is 1.14.
Local-share leaders
Where Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic takes the largest share of local jobs
Indiana has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 3.45. Florida has 0.17. 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 Heat Treating Equipment 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. Indiana has a location quotient of 3.45, a gap of 3.28 from Florida. BLS lists 990 Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs and a median of $46,860 per year, or $510 below Florida.
2. Michigan has a location quotient of 3, a gap of 2.83 from Florida. BLS lists 1,190 Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs and a median of $50,560 per year, or $3,190 above Florida.
3. Pennsylvania has a location quotient of 2.78, a gap of 2.61 from Florida. BLS lists 1,520 Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs and a median of $48,800 per year, or $1,430 above Florida.
Job scale and share
How common Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic is in Florida
BLS lists 150 Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs in Florida. It also lists 0.02 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 0.17. A value of 1 means Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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.
Local job mix
Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic beside other roles in Florida
The all-occupations median in Florida is $47,880 per year. The Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median is $47,370 per year. Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic is 1.1% 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 Florida. 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 Heat Treating Equipment 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. First-Line Supervisors of Retail Sales Workers, SOC 41-1011, has a Florida median of $48,410 per year. BLS lists 80,470 jobs and a location quotient of 1.12.
2. Maintenance and Repair Workers, General, SOC 49-9071, has a Florida median of $46,060 per year. BLS lists 111,530 jobs and a location quotient of 1.14.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Florida
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Florida table, at 333,460 jobs. Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has 150 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 9,929,860. 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 Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 333,460 jobs in Florida, a gap of 333,310 from Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Its median is $34,010 per year, or $13,360 below Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Its location quotient is 1.34.
2. General and Operations Managers has 236,290 jobs in Florida, a gap of 236,140 from Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Its median is $101,580 per year, or $54,210 above Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Its location quotient is 1.06.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Florida
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Florida role table, at $130,980 per year. Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has $47,370 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,880 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 $130,980 per year in Florida, or $83,610 above Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. BLS lists 87,890 jobs, compared with 150 for Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Its location quotient is 0.82.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $101,580 per year in Florida, or $54,210 above Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. BLS lists 236,290 jobs, compared with 150 for Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Its location quotient is 1.06.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Florida
Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants has the highest location quotient in the bounded Florida role table, at 1.56. Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has 0.17. 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 Heat Treating Equipment 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. Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants has a location quotient of 1.56 in Florida, a gap of 1.39 from Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. BLS lists 96,000 jobs and a median of $41,730 per year, or $5,640 below Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.
2. Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners has a location quotient of 1.45 in Florida, a gap of 1.28 from Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. BLS lists 79,550 jobs and a median of $33,860 per year, or $13,510 below Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.
Price-level view
What $47,370 may mean after the Florida price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Florida is 103.4. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 3.4% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $47,370 Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median by 103.4 divided by 100. The result is $45,806 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 122.1. Goods are 98.1. Utilities are 90.1. Other services are 101.3. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the Florida row
The employment RSE for this Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic row is 5.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.5%. 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 150 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $48,560 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.
Job and résumé path
Use Florida wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. It uses a Florida 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 $47,370 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.
Limits
What the Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic row for Florida 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 150 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.17 is not a growth score. Rank 23 of 37 is not a place score. The 103.4 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-4191 in BLS area 12. 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 150 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.
