Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area was 26.0% below the U.S. median for Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop. It ranked 111 of 130 nonmetro areas. We rank only areas with a published annual median. These pay gaps leave out prices, benefits, and skills. They also leave out the mix of firms and work hours.
What the Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop median says in Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop median in Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area at $23,080 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 35-9031 and BLS area 4500005.
BLS lists 140 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 $24,400 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area's Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop median is 26.0% below the U.S. Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop median of $31,200 on the same published median. Both values use the same job code and source date. They do not account for prices, taxes, benefits, hours, or your work history.

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 4500005. They do not show related skills or a path into Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop.

The middle half runs from $20,990 per year to $27,320 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $13,120. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $23,080 per year. South Carolina has $27,000 per year. The U.S. row has $31,200 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area is 14.5% below South Carolina on the same published median. Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area is 26.0% 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 benchmarks, 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 Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area sits for Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop
Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area ranks 111 of 130 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 111 of 130 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.
108. Northwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. The Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop median is $23,350 per year. BLS estimates 340 jobs. The location quotient is 0.82.
109. Northwestern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area. The Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop median is $23,310 per year. BLS estimates 190 jobs. The location quotient is 0.74.
110. Northeastern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area. The Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop median is $23,080 per year. BLS estimates 280 jobs. The location quotient is 1.29.
Pay leaders
Where Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 35-9031, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $47,010 per year. Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area sits at $23,080 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop 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 limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has a Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop median of $47,010 per year, or $23,930 above Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 420 jobs there, compared with 140 in Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 1.44.
2. Eastern Oregon nonmetropolitan area has a Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop median of $38,100 per year, or $15,020 above Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 160 jobs there, compared with 140 in Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.77.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop jobs
East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop in this same-source set, at 1,100 jobs. Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area has 140. 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. East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area has 1,100 estimated Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop jobs, a gap of 960 jobs from Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $26,470 per year, or $3,390 above Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 2.81.
2. Western North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has 980 estimated Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop jobs, a gap of 840 jobs from Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $26,900 per year, or $3,820 above Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.39.
Local-share leaders
Where Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop takes the largest share of local jobs
East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 2.81. Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area has 0.93. 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 Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop 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. East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 2.81, a gap of 1.88 from Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 1,100 Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop jobs and a median of $26,470 per year, or $3,390 above Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area.
2. Southwest Missouri nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 2.68, a gap of 1.75 from Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 590 Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop jobs and a median of $30,820 per year, or $7,740 above Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop is in Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 140 Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop jobs in Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 2.6 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 0.93. A value of 1 means Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop 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
Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop beside other roles in Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area is $42,030 per year. The Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop median is $23,080 per year. Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop is 45.1% 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 Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area. 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 Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop. 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. Teaching Assistants, Except Postsecondary, SOC 25-9045, has a Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area median of $23,530 per year. BLS lists 590 jobs and a location quotient of 1.23.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area
Cashiers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area table, at 2,170 jobs. Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop has 140 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 52,280. 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 Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Cashiers has 2,170 jobs in Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 2,030 from Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop. Its median is $26,490 per year, or $3,410 above Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop. Its location quotient is 2.09.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area role table, at $98,090 per year. Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop has $23,080 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $42,030 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 $98,090 per year in Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area, or $75,010 above Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop. BLS lists 630 jobs, compared with 140 for Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop. Its location quotient is 0.54.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $81,800 per year in Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area, or $58,720 above Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop. BLS lists 1,100 jobs, compared with 140 for Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop. Its location quotient is 0.97.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area
Industrial Truck and Tractor Operators has the highest location quotient in the bounded Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area role table, at 3.04. Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop has 0.93. 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 Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Industrial Truck and Tractor Operators has a location quotient of 3.04 in Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 2.11 from Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop. BLS lists 790 jobs and a median of $39,660 per year, or $16,580 above Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop.
2. Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers has a location quotient of 2.41 in Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1.48 from Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop. BLS lists 540 jobs and a median of $46,940 per year, or $23,860 above Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop.
Price-level view
What $23,080 may mean after the Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $23,080 BLS median stays a nominal wage.
No price row means no national-price-dollar proxy. It does not mean prices match the U.S. level. It does not say whether a wage goes far or not. The source is missing for this exact map key, so the price answer stays open.
You can still compare Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop with the U.S. or with like nonmetro areas on the same BLS metric. Keep that as a nominal wage comparison. Add price-level context only when an exact reviewed row exists.
Data care
How much care to use with the Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop row is 8.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.3%. 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 140 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $24,400 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 Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop. It uses a Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area 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 $23,080 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 Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop row for Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area 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 140 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.93 is not a growth score. Rank 111 of 130 is not a place score. A missing price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 35-9031 in BLS area 4500005. 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 Hosts and Hostesses, Restaurant, Lounge, and Coffee Shop jobs does BLS estimate in Southern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area?
BLS estimates 140 wage and salary jobs for this row. This is a survey estimate. It does not count open jobs or predict future hiring.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. We show job posts in a separate list. Each has its own source and check date. Posted pay does not change the BLS pay data.
