Questions, answered
Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters pay in Oregon: common questions
What is the median wage for Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters in Oregon?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $44,800 per year for Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters in Oregon. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters pay higher in Oregon than nationally?
Oregon's published median was 5.8% above the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Oregon?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 103.4 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

What the Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median says in Oregon
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median in Oregon at $44,800 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 47-3015 and BLS area 41.
BLS lists 210 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 $46,200 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Oregon's Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median is 5.8% above the U.S. Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median of $42,360 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 47-3015 and area 41. SOC 47-3015 names Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. Area 41 names Oregon. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 47-3015/41 row reports 210 wage and salary jobs, 0.11 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.38 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 47-3015/41, the annual median is $44,800 per year, while the matching mean is $46,200 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 41 facts behind this Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters page
Area 41 reports 1,967,130 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $72,460. Its annual median is $57,000. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 47-3015 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Oregon runs from $35,680 at the 10th percentile to $129,520 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $42,690. The median is $57,000. The 75th percentile is $83,070. This is a place check, not a pay range for Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters.
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 41. They do not show related skills or a path into Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters.
1. Area 41, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 59,920 jobs, $35,050 annual median, 30.46 jobs per 1,000, and 1.23 location quotient.
2. Area 41, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 48,090 jobs, $36,770 annual median, 24.45 jobs per 1,000, and 0.98 location quotient.
3. Area 41, SOC 53-7065, Stockers and Order Fillers: 42,690 jobs, $43,480 annual median, 21.7 jobs per 1,000, and 1.19 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Oregon wage ladder for Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters
The 10th percentile is $39,370 per year. The 25th percentile is $42,210 per year. The median is $44,800 per year. The 75th percentile is $46,110 per year. The 90th percentile is $58,520 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 $42,210 per year to $46,110 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $19,150. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Oregon has a annual median of $44,800 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $42,360 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Oregon. Oregon is 5.8% 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 Oregon sits for Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters
Oregon ranks 14 of 49 among states and territories with a published annual median for Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 14 of 49 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.
11. District of Columbia has a Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median of $45,440 per year, Not published estimated jobs, and a location quotient of Not published.
12. Wyoming has a Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median of $45,250 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.45.
13. Colorado has a Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median of $45,030 per year, 240 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.3.
Pay leaders
Where Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 47-3015, 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 $56,140 per year. Oregon sits at $44,800 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--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters 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--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median of $56,140 per year, or $11,340 above Oregon. BLS lists 600 jobs there, compared with 210 in Oregon. The location quotient is 0.59.
2. Hawaii has a Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median of $52,000 per year, or $7,200 above Oregon. BLS lists 180 jobs there, compared with 210 in Oregon. The location quotient is 1.02.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters jobs
Texas has the largest published state job estimate for Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters in this same-source set, at 7,210 jobs. Oregon has 210. 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 7,210 estimated Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters jobs, a gap of 7,000 jobs from Oregon. Its median is $41,950 per year, or $2,850 below Oregon. Its location quotient is 1.8.
2. New York has 4,840 estimated Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters jobs, a gap of 4,630 jobs from Oregon. Its median is $52,000 per year, or $7,200 above Oregon. Its location quotient is 1.75.
Local-share leaders
Where Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters takes the largest share of local jobs
Louisiana has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 3.65. Oregon has 0.38. 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--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters 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 3.65, a gap of 3.27 from Oregon. BLS lists 2,010 Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters jobs and a median of $37,380 per year, or $7,420 below Oregon.
2. North Carolina has a location quotient of 2.18, a gap of 1.80 from Oregon. BLS lists 3,070 Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters jobs and a median of $43,710 per year, or $1,090 below Oregon.
Job scale and share
How common Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters is in Oregon
BLS lists 210 Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters jobs in Oregon. It also lists 0.11 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 0.38. A value of 1 means Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters 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--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters beside other roles in Oregon
The all-occupations median in Oregon is $57,000 per year. The Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median is $44,800 per year. Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters is 21.4% 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 Oregon. 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--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. 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. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand, SOC 53-7062, has a Oregon median of $44,750 per year. BLS lists 27,720 jobs and a location quotient of 0.74.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides, SOC 31-1120, has a Oregon median of $44,410 per year. BLS lists 42,330 jobs and a location quotient of 0.78.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Oregon
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Oregon table, at 59,920 jobs. Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters has 210 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 1,967,130. 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--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 59,920 jobs in Oregon, a gap of 59,710 from Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. Its median is $35,050 per year, or $9,750 below Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. Its location quotient is 1.23.
2. Retail Salespersons has 48,090 jobs in Oregon, a gap of 47,880 from Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. Its median is $36,770 per year, or $8,030 below Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. Its location quotient is 0.98.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Oregon
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Oregon role table, at $142,720 per year. Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters has $44,800 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $57,000 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 $142,720 per year in Oregon, or $97,920 above Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. BLS lists 21,830 jobs, compared with 210 for Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. Its location quotient is 1.02.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $129,010 per year in Oregon, or $84,210 above Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. BLS lists 39,730 jobs, compared with 210 for Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. Its location quotient is 0.93.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Oregon
Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other has the highest location quotient in the bounded Oregon role table, at 29.99. Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters has 0.38. 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--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other has a location quotient of 29.99 in Oregon, a gap of 29.61 from Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. BLS lists 22,930 jobs and a median of $41,600 per year, or $3,200 below Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters.
2. Carpenters has a location quotient of 1.78 in Oregon, a gap of 1.40 from Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. BLS lists 15,110 jobs and a median of $62,870 per year, or $18,070 above Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters.
Price-level view
What $44,800 may mean after the Oregon price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Oregon 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 $44,800 Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median by 103.4 divided by 100. The result is $43,343 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 108.6. Goods are 105.3. Utilities are 107.0. 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.
The employment RSE for this Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters row is 48.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 3.5%. 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 210 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $46,200 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--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. It uses a Oregon 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 $44,800 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--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters row for Oregon 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 210 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.38 is not a growth score. Rank 14 of 49 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 47-3015 in BLS area 41. 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 210 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.
