What the Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median says in Washington
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median in Washington at $40,460 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 43-4081 and BLS area 53.
BLS lists 5,630 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 $42,450 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Washington's Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median is 15.4% above the U.S. Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median of $35,070 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 43-4081 and area 53. SOC 43-4081 names Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. Area 53 names Washington. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 43-4081/53 row reports 5,630 wage and salary jobs, 1.58 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.94 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 43-4081/53, the annual median is $40,460 per year, while the matching mean is $42,450 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 53 facts behind this Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks page
Area 53 reports 3,550,970 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $83,330. Its annual median is $62,990. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.4%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 43-4081 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Washington runs from $38,670 at the 10th percentile to $153,630 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $47,020. The median is $62,990. The 75th percentile is $101,710. This is a place check, not a pay range for Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks.
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 53. They do not show related skills or a path into Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks.
1. Area 53, SOC 15-1252, Software Developers: 107,030 jobs, $166,540 annual median, 30.14 jobs per 1,000, and 2.78 location quotient.
2. Area 53, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 103,260 jobs, $47,730 annual median, 29.08 jobs per 1,000, and 1.05 location quotient.
3. Area 53, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 94,710 jobs, $37,710 annual median, 26.67 jobs per 1,000, and 1.08 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Washington wage ladder for Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks
The 10th percentile is $36,850 per year. The 25th percentile is $37,930 per year. The median is $40,460 per year. The 75th percentile is $45,460 per year. The 90th percentile is $48,710 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 $37,930 per year to $45,460 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $11,860. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Washington has a annual median of $40,460 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $35,070 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Washington. Washington is 15.4% 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 Washington sits for Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks
Washington ranks 4 of 53 among states and territories with a published annual median for Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. 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 53 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. Hawaii has a Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median of $59,110 per year, 2,810 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.67.
2. District of Columbia has a Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median of $47,060 per year, 1,170 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.99.
3. Vermont has a Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median of $44,940 per year, 580 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.14.
5. Massachusetts has a Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median of $39,400 per year, 4,530 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.74.
Pay leaders
Where Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 43-4081, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Hawaii has the highest published median in this set, at $59,110 per year. Washington sits at $40,460 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks 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. Hawaii has a Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median of $59,110 per year, or $18,650 above Washington. BLS lists 2,810 jobs there, compared with 5,630 in Washington. The location quotient is 2.67.
2. District of Columbia has a Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median of $47,060 per year, or $6,600 above Washington. BLS lists 1,170 jobs there, compared with 5,630 in Washington. The location quotient is 0.99.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks in this same-source set, at 27,810 jobs. Washington has 5,630. 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. California has 27,810 estimated Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks jobs, a gap of 22,180 jobs from Washington. Its median is $39,360 per year, or $1,100 below Washington. Its location quotient is 0.91.
2. Texas has 23,690 estimated Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks jobs, a gap of 18,060 jobs from Washington. Its median is $29,630 per year, or $10,830 below Washington. Its location quotient is 1.
Local-share leaders
Where Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks takes the largest share of local jobs
Virgin Islands (territory) has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 4.39. Washington has 0.94. 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 Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks 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. Virgin Islands (territory) has a location quotient of 4.39, a gap of 3.45 from Washington. BLS lists 240 Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks jobs and a median of $34,020 per year, or $6,440 below Washington.
2. Montana has a location quotient of 3.09, a gap of 2.15 from Washington. BLS lists 2,660 Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks jobs and a median of $35,330 per year, or $5,130 below Washington.
3. Hawaii has a location quotient of 2.67, a gap of 1.73 from Washington. BLS lists 2,810 Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks jobs and a median of $59,110 per year, or $18,650 above Washington.
Job scale and share
How common Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks is in Washington
BLS lists 5,630 Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks jobs in Washington. It also lists 1.58 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 0.94. A value of 1 means Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks 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.
Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks beside other roles in Washington
The all-occupations median in Washington is $62,990 per year. The Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median is $40,460 per year. Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks is 35.8% 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 Washington. 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 Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. 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. Retail Salespersons, SOC 41-2031, has a Washington median of $39,560 per year. BLS lists 84,850 jobs and a location quotient of 0.95.
2. Cashiers, SOC 41-2011, has a Washington median of $38,720 per year. BLS lists 61,050 jobs and a location quotient of 0.87.
3. Fast Food and Counter Workers, SOC 35-3023, has a Washington median of $37,710 per year. BLS lists 94,710 jobs and a location quotient of 1.08.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Washington
Software Developers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Washington table, at 107,030 jobs. Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks has 5,630 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 3,550,970. 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 Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Software Developers has 107,030 jobs in Washington, a gap of 101,400 from Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. Its median is $166,540 per year, or $126,080 above Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. Its location quotient is 2.78.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 103,260 jobs in Washington, a gap of 97,630 from Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. Its median is $47,730 per year, or $7,270 above Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. Its location quotient is 1.05.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Washington
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Washington role table, at $166,540 per year. Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks has $40,460 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $62,990 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 $166,540 per year in Washington, or $126,080 above Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. BLS lists 107,030 jobs, compared with 5,630 for Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. Its location quotient is 2.78.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $133,750 per year in Washington, or $93,290 above Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. BLS lists 50,630 jobs, compared with 5,630 for Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. Its location quotient is 0.63.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Washington
Software Developers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Washington role table, at 2.78. Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks has 0.94. 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 Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Software Developers has a location quotient of 2.78 in Washington, a gap of 1.84 from Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. BLS lists 107,030 jobs and a median of $166,540 per year, or $126,080 above Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks.
2. Business Operations Specialists, All Other has a location quotient of 2.08 in Washington, a gap of 1.14 from Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. BLS lists 51,650 jobs and a median of $100,360 per year, or $59,900 above Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks.
Price-level view
What $40,460 may mean after the Washington price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Washington is 107.0. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.0% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $40,460 Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median by 107.0 divided by 100. The result is $37,808 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 126.0. Goods are 104.4. Utilities are 92.9. Other services are 103.9. 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 Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks row is 3.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.9%. 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 5,630 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $42,450 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 Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. It uses a Washington 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 $40,460 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 Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks row for Washington 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 5,630 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.94 is not a growth score. Rank 4 of 53 is not a place score. The 107.0 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 43-4081 in BLS area 53. 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 5,630 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.
