What the Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other median says in Illinois
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other median in Illinois at $49,880 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 47-3019 and BLS area 17.
BLS lists 160 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 $52,570 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Illinois's Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other median is 16.9% above the U.S. Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other median of $42,670 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 47-3019 and area 17. SOC 47-3019 names Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other. Area 17 names Illinois. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 47-3019/17 row reports 160 wage and salary jobs, 0.03 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.17 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 47-3019/17, the annual median is $49,880 per year, while the matching mean is $52,570 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 17 facts behind this Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other page
Area 17 reports 6,098,130 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $71,130. Its annual median is $51,960. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 47-3019 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Illinois runs from $32,900 at the 10th percentile to $127,770 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $37,960. The median is $51,960. The 75th percentile is $83,060. This is a place check, not a pay range for Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other.
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 17. They do not show related skills or a path into Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other.
1. Area 17, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 195,390 jobs, $40,550 annual median, 32.04 jobs per 1,000, and 1.69 location quotient.
2. Area 17, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 171,300 jobs, $103,570 annual median, 28.09 jobs per 1,000, and 1.25 location quotient.
3. Area 17, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 139,630 jobs, $34,490 annual median, 22.9 jobs per 1,000, and 1.15 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Illinois wage ladder for Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other
The 10th percentile is $34,250 per year. The 25th percentile is $41,160 per year. The median is $49,880 per year. The 75th percentile is $55,380 per year. The 90th percentile is $84,410 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 $41,160 per year to $55,380 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $50,160. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Illinois has a annual median of $49,880 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $42,670 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Illinois. Illinois is 16.9% 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 Illinois sits for Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other
Illinois ranks 4 of 41 among states and territories with a published annual median for Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other. 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 41 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. Washington has a Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other median of $61,750 per year, 60 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.11.
2. New York has a Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other median of $54,480 per year, 1,190 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.77.
3. Missouri has a Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other median of $51,630 per year, Not published estimated jobs, and a location quotient of Not published.
5. California has a Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other median of $48,430 per year, 2,990 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.03.
Pay leaders
Where Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 47-3019, 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 $61,750 per year. Illinois sits at $49,880 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other 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 Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other median of $61,750 per year, or $11,870 above Illinois. BLS lists 60 jobs there, compared with 160 in Illinois. The location quotient is 0.11.
2. New York has a Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other median of $54,480 per year, or $4,600 above Illinois. BLS lists 1,190 jobs there, compared with 160 in Illinois. The location quotient is 0.77.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other jobs
Texas has the largest published state job estimate for Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other in this same-source set, at 5,060 jobs. Illinois has 160. 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 5,060 estimated Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other jobs, a gap of 4,900 jobs from Illinois. Its median is $40,610 per year, or $9,270 below Illinois. Its location quotient is 2.26.
2. California has 2,990 estimated Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other jobs, a gap of 2,830 jobs from Illinois. Its median is $48,430 per year, or $1,450 below Illinois. Its location quotient is 1.03.
Local-share leaders
Where Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other takes the largest share of local jobs
Louisiana has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 7.09. Illinois 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 Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other 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. Louisiana has a location quotient of 7.09, a gap of 6.92 from Illinois. BLS lists 2,190 Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other jobs and a median of $39,960 per year, or $9,920 below Illinois.
2. Puerto Rico has a location quotient of 4.96, a gap of 4.79 from Illinois. BLS lists 740 Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other jobs and a median of $22,910 per year, or $26,970 below Illinois.
3. New Mexico has a location quotient of 3.68, a gap of 3.51 from Illinois. BLS lists 510 Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other jobs and a median of $37,280 per year, or $12,600 below Illinois.
Job scale and share
How common Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other is in Illinois
BLS lists 160 Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other jobs in Illinois. It also lists 0.03 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 Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other 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.
Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other beside other roles in Illinois
The all-occupations median in Illinois is $51,960 per year. The Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other median is $49,880 per year. Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other is 4.0% 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 Illinois. 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 Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other. 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. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks, SOC 43-3031, has a Illinois median of $49,560 per year. BLS lists 51,470 jobs and a location quotient of 0.96.
2. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive, SOC 43-6014, has a Illinois median of $48,310 per year. BLS lists 74,280 jobs and a location quotient of 1.11.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Illinois
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Illinois table, at 195,390 jobs. Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other has 160 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 6,098,130. 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 Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 195,390 jobs in Illinois, a gap of 195,230 from Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other. Its median is $40,550 per year, or $9,330 below Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other. Its location quotient is 1.69.
2. General and Operations Managers has 171,300 jobs in Illinois, a gap of 171,140 from Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other. Its median is $103,570 per year, or $53,690 above Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other. Its location quotient is 1.25.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Illinois
Financial Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Illinois role table, at $165,880 per year. Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other has $49,880 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $51,960 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. Financial Managers has a median of $165,880 per year in Illinois, or $116,000 above Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other. BLS lists 52,720 jobs, compared with 160 for Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other. Its location quotient is 1.6.
2. Software Developers has a median of $132,110 per year in Illinois, or $82,230 above Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other. BLS lists 56,310 jobs, compared with 160 for Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other. Its location quotient is 0.85.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Illinois
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has the highest location quotient in the bounded Illinois role table, at 1.69. Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other 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 Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has a location quotient of 1.69 in Illinois, a gap of 1.52 from Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other. BLS lists 195,390 jobs and a median of $40,550 per year, or $9,330 below Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other.
2. Financial Managers has a location quotient of 1.6 in Illinois, a gap of 1.43 from Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other. BLS lists 52,720 jobs and a median of $165,880 per year, or $116,000 above Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other.
Price-level view
What $49,880 may mean after the Illinois price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Illinois is 100.0. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 0.0% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $49,880 Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other median by 100.0 divided by 100. The result is $49,901 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 93.9. Goods are 103.8. Utilities are 85.0. Other services are 100.2. 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 Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other row is 31.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 5.5%. 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 160 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $52,570 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 Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other. It uses a Illinois 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 $49,880 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 Helpers, Construction Trades, All Other row for Illinois 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 160 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.17 is not a growth score. Rank 4 of 41 is not a place score. The 100.0 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 47-3019 in BLS area 17. 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 160 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.
