2.3%
Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA was 7.7% above the U.S. median for Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers. It ranked 70 of 307 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers median says in Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers median in Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA at $42,680 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 49-9098 and BLS area 42200.
BLS lists 100 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 $43,880 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA's Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers median is 7.7% above the U.S. Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers median of $39,630 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 49-9098 with area 42200
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 49-9098 and area 42200. SOC 49-9098 names Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers. Area 42200 names Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 49-9098/42200 row reports 100 wage and salary jobs, 0.5 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.8 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 49-9098/42200, the annual median is $42,680 per year, while the matching mean is $43,880 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.

The 75th percentile is $82,590. This is a place check, not a pay range for Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers.
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 42200. They do not show related skills or a path into Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers.

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 $40,840 per year to $45,610 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $13,270. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA with its state and the U.S.
Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA has a annual median of $42,680 per year. California has $44,670 per year. The U.S. row has $39,630 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA is 4.5% below California on the same published median. Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA is 7.7% 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA sits for Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers
Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA ranks 70 of 307 among metro areas with a published annual median for Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 70 of 307 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.
67. Stockton-Lodi, CA has a Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers median of $42,800 per year, 130 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.72.
68. Glens Falls, NY has a Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers median of $42,790 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.14.
69. Peoria, IL has a Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers median of $42,690 per year, 60 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.55.
Pay leaders
Where Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 49-9098, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Wheeling, WV-OH has the highest published median in this set, at $64,620 per year. Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA sits at $42,680 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--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers 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. Wheeling, WV-OH has a Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers median of $64,620 per year, or $21,940 above Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA. BLS lists 40 jobs there, compared with 100 in Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA. The location quotient is 1.1.
2. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers median of $55,100 per year, or $12,420 above Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA. BLS lists 430 jobs there, compared with 100 in Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA. The location quotient is 0.62.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers in this same-source set, at 5,700 jobs. Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA has 100. 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. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 5,700 estimated Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers jobs, a gap of 5,600 jobs from Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA. Its median is $43,870 per year, or $1,190 above Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA. Its location quotient is 0.98.
2. Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX has 4,440 estimated Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers jobs, a gap of 4,340 jobs from Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA. Its median is $37,470 per year, or $5,210 below Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA. Its location quotient is 2.19.
Local-share leaders
Where Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers takes the largest share of local jobs
Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux, LA has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 5.49. Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA has 0.8. 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--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers 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. Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux, LA has a location quotient of 5.49, a gap of 4.69 from Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA. BLS lists 280 Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers jobs and a median of $31,640 per year, or $11,040 below Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA.
2. Lafayette, LA has a location quotient of 4.68, a gap of 3.88 from Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA. BLS lists 520 Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers jobs and a median of $35,390 per year, or $7,290 below Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA.
Job scale and share
How common Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers is in Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA
BLS lists 100 Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers jobs in Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA. It also lists 0.5 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 0.8. A value of 1 means Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers 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
Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers beside other roles in Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA
The all-occupations median in Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA is $51,690 per year. The Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers median is $42,680 per year. Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers is 17.4% 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 Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA. 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--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers. 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. Cooks, Fast Food, SOC 35-2011, has a Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA median of $42,700 per year. BLS lists 1,430 jobs and a location quotient of 1.73.
2. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand, SOC 53-7062, has a Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA median of $42,560 per year. BLS lists 2,100 jobs and a location quotient of 0.55.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA
Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA table, at 11,020 jobs. Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers has 100 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 200,760. 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--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has 11,020 jobs in Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA, a gap of 10,920 from Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers.

2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 6,470 jobs in Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA, a gap of 6,370 from Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers. Its median is $34,320 per year, or $8,360 below Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers. Its location quotient is 1.16.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA role table, at $158,290 per year. Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers has $42,680 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $51,690 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 $158,290 per year in Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA, or $115,610 above Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers. BLS lists 1,680 jobs, compared with 100 for Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers. Its location quotient is 0.77.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $137,360 per year in Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA, or $94,680 above Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers. BLS lists 3,280 jobs, compared with 100 for Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers. Its location quotient is 0.75.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA
Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has the highest location quotient in the bounded Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA role table, at 32.14. Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers has 0.8. 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--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has a location quotient of 32.14 in Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA, a gap of 31.34 from Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers. BLS lists 11,020 jobs and a median of $36,230 per year, or $6,450 below Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers.

Price-level view
What $42,680 may mean after the Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA is 108.8. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 8.8% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $42,680 Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers median by 108.8 divided by 100. The result is $39,229 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 151.4. Goods are 105.2. Utilities are 149.8. Other services are 100.3. 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 Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA row
The employment RSE for this Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers row is 28.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.9%. 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 100 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $43,880 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 Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers. It uses a Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA 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 $42,680 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 Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers row for Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA 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 100 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.8 is not a growth score. Rank 70 of 307 is not a place score. The 108.8 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 49-9098 in BLS area 42200. 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.
How many Helpers--Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers jobs does BLS estimate in Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA?
